What this section does not mean
Not everyone named here is accused. The exact status is given next to every name. An accusation is not a conviction, and nobody is called a criminal unless a court has convicted them. A name is not added because it circulates on social media. It is added only when a document supports it.
The names
Of the 70 court decisions, 16 are convictions, 49 are convictions known from reports, where the judgment itself has not been seen, and 5 are civil judgments. There are 21 names under United States sanctions. Of these, 3 are listed under another status, a court decision or an amnesty.
