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 entries under court decisions, 14 are named people and companies who were convicted, 44 are named people and companies reported convicted, where the judgment itself has not been seen, and 5 are civil judgments. The other 7 stand for people whom the sources do not name. There are 21 names under United States sanctions. Of these, 3 are listed under another status, a court decision or an amnesty.
