Businessman Oleg Deripaska has filed a lawsuit in the Moscow Arbitration Court against The Insider, its editor-in-chief Roman Dobrokhotov, and investigative journalist Sergey Ezhov. The case is reportedly connected to Yezhov’s June 2025 investigation, which described how Deripaska’s companies benefit from the war in Ukraine. Shortly after the investigation was published, Yezhov’s personal accounts were targeted in a cyberattack.
