Yevgeniy Viktorovich Prigozhin, a Russian oligarch and primary funder of the St. Petersburg-based Internet Research Agency, is wanted by the FBI for allegedly orchestrating a conspiracy to defraud the United States through coordinated interference in American elections from 2014 to 2018. The conspiracy involved creating hundreds of fictitious online personas, purchasing U.S. server space, and using stolen American identities to manipulate the political system and interfere with the 2016 Presidential Election. Despite a federal arrest warrant issued in February 2018, Prigozhin's whereabouts and current status remain a matter of international concern, and investigators continue seeking information about his network and ongoing operations.
