.The crew of overdue Russian adversary body Alexei Navalny on Thursday charged a Russian-Israeli billionaire of getting the intense March attack on Navalny ally Leonid Volkov, citing proof it obtained.Volkov, Navalny's ex-chief of personnel and also previous chairman of his Anti-Corruption Base, was actually struck along with teargas as well as a hammer outside his house in Lithuania on March 12. Poland stated it jailed 3 suspects in connection with the attack, with Lithuania saying it presumed Russian exclusive services lagged the assault." Leonid Nevzlin ordered the beating and also kidnapping of Volkov," Navalny's staff mentioned.Nevzlin is actually the former co-owner of ousted Kremlin doubter Mikhail Khodorkovsky's now-defunct oil firm Yukos. He moved abroad to Israel in 2003." Yet Nevzlin was actually dissatisfied along with the result as well as really did not pay for the guaranteed $250,000 for the work," the crew said, incorporating that it resulted in a dispute in between the entrepreneur and also the supposed organizer of the spell.Navalny's team mentioned it found yourself along with audio and also graphic proof of Nevzlin's participation from a supposed "fixer" called Andrei Matus that was actually reportedly gotten to seize the hit man's phones..Group Navalny said it had organized a meeting with Matus in Montenegro, where the "fixer" participated in a recording of his phone conversation with Nevzlin affirming the information of the strike on Volkov and also two various other assaults on banished adversary participants.Group Navalny stated Matus "disappeared" soon after finding out that they will certainly not be able to spend him for the info. "A couple of full weeks later our experts found his components on the [Kremlin-funded broadcaster] Russia Today web site," Group Navalny mentioned.The Moscow Times could certainly not separately verify some of the components published on Navalny's site.Group Navalny said it strongly believes "dumb pointless hatred" blended along with "political competitors" might have steered the assault on Volkov..Nevzlin has actually certainly not reacted to the accusations, which jeopardize steering a much deeper break in Russia's currently broken opponent.Reacting To Group Navalny's complaints versus Nevzlin, Khodorkovsky claimed: " Either it holds true, and after that Leonid Nevzlin has actually gone mad. Or even it is an FSB justification and also a fake on which a lot of amount of money has actually been actually devoted. Our experts have actually viewed such justifications much more than as soon as, for instance, in the Magnitsky scenario." For one reason or another, [Staff Navalny investigator] Maria Pevchikh with certainty decides on the very first variation. For flawlessly understandable main reasons, I pitch towards the second," he carried on, requiring the allegations to be explored by police.Staff Navalny claimed it notified the police department of countries where Nevzlin is believed to stay and also was ready to give up its own reports." I can easily not cover my scalp around this info however,. Khodorkovsky invested one decade in jail Putin expropriated his multi-billion-dollar service. Because 2013, Khodorkovsky was actually a popular vocal in expatriation. (Nevzlin ran away to Israel in 2003, when Khodorkovsky's realm was actually under attack coming from Putin.)," financial expert and also political analyst Konstantin Sonin wrote on X (formerly Twitter)." What I can easily state is that @navalny's staff has actually possessed an impressive image in investigative writing. With Alexei and after that without him, they uncovered several vital incidents of [the Putin program's] corruption, their effect systems, their army hookups, etc," he created.
