The Justice Department charged the founder and three members of the African People's Socialist Party, a Black nationalist group, with working with Russian intelligence to influence elections in the United States.
The US Justice Department on Tuesday charged the founder and three members of a half-century-old Black nationalist group with working with Russian intelligence to influence elections in the United States.
According to an indictment, the four people took money and other support from US-based Russian Alexandr Ionov and Moscow-based officers of Russia's FSB intelligence agency who directed Ionov. Undercover as president of the Moscow-based Anti-Globalization Movement of Russia, Ionov used the APSP and Uhuru movements, and Romain's Georgia-based spinoff Black Hammer, to promote Russian views on politics, the Ukraine war and other issues.
In 2017 and 2019, the group also actively sought to influence local elections in St. Petersburg, Florida -- where the four Americans are based -- and then the 2020 national elections, according to the charges.
