TAMPA, Fla. — Federal law enforcement officials appear to be investigating members of the Uhuru Movement in St. Petersburg for alleged connections to a Russian government official who prosecutors say directed U.S. political groups in a campaign to sow political divisions, spread pro-Russian propaganda and interfere in U.S. elections.
St. Petersburg police executed search warrants Friday morning at multiple locations, including the Uhuru House at 245 18th Ave. South.
The search warrants appear to be related to an indictment that was unsealed Friday against a Russian national, who is accused of working with the Russian government and intelligence services in efforts to interfere in U.S. politics.
