- Position
- John Dougan is a former Florida deputy sheriff who fled to Russia in 2016. He is publicly accused of participating in pro-Kremlin digital information operations from Moscow by operating the CopyCop network of fake news websites and supporting Storm-1516 activities. The inauthentic websites mimic legitimate media outlets and spread fabricated stories and AI-generated deepfake content. Reports from Western authorities and independent investigative sources link Dougan’s activities to Russia’s military intelligence agency (GRU) and the Moscow-based think tank the Center for Geopolitical Expertise, suggesting he receives Russian support and direction to influence elections, discredit political figures and manipulate public discourse in Western countries.; former Florida deputy sheriff
