Facebook Sued  by Russian  Firm Linked to Woman Indicted by U.S. Special Counsel

A Russian company whose accountant was indicted by the U.S. special counsel probing Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election sued Facebook Inc (FB.O) on Tuesday, claiming it is a legitimate news firm and its Facebook account should be restored.

The Federal Agency of News LLC, known as FAN, and its sole shareholder, Evgeniy Zubarev, filed the lawsuit in the federal court in the Northern District of California, seeking damages and an injunction to prevent Facebook from blocking its account.

Facebook deleted the company’s account in April as it purged pages and accounts associated with the St. Petersburg-based Internet Research Agency, which was indicted by Special Counsel Robert Mueller earlier this year for interfering in the 2016 U.S. election.

FAN and Zubarev said they were improperly swept up in Facebook’s purge.
