Alleged Trickbot leader, wanted by Germany, runs for Russian State Duma

The Insider reports that an individual wanted by Germany for alleged leadership of the Trickbot cybercrime group is an advisor to Russian politician Davankov and has been nominated for the State Duma by the 'New People' party. This suggests potential state protection or complicity, though the claim relies on investigative reporting and is unconfirmed by official sources. The development signals a possible escalation in cybercrime-state nexus, with implications for international law enforcement and diplomatic tensions.
