Authorities in Azerbaijan have launched an investigation into the Baku office of Sputnik Azerbaijan over claims it continued operations illegally after its accreditation was revoked.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Azerbaijan has initiated a criminal investigation into the Baku branch of 'Rossiya Segodnya' Information Agency, known as 'Sputnik Azerbaijan,' following intelligence suggesting it continued activities based on unlawful financial support.
Although the agency’s accreditation was officially revoked in February 2025, operational data indicated that Sputnik Azerbaijan allegedly maintained its activities using illegal funding sources, according to the Ministry's Press Service.
As part of the probe, law enforcement conducted search operations at the agency's office on 30 June. Several individuals were detained in connection with the case.
The Ministry noted that further information will be provided as the investigation progresses.
