.The crew of late Russian opponent body Alexei Navalny on Thursday implicated a Russian-Israeli billionaire of ordering the violent March attack on Navalny ally Leonid Volkov, naming documentation it got.Volkov, Navalny's ex-chief of personnel and also previous chairman of his Anti-Corruption Foundation, was struck with tear gas and also a hammer outside his home in Lithuania on March 12. Poland said it detained 3 suspects among the assault, along with Lithuania saying it reckoned Russian exclusive companies lagged the assault." Leonid Nevzlin ordered the beating as well as kidnapping of Volkov," Navalny's team claimed.Nevzlin is the past co-owner of ousted Kremlin doubter Mikhail Khodorkovsky's now-defunct oil firm Yukos. He emigrated to Israel in 2003." Yet Nevzlin was actually miserable along with the result and also didn't pay for the assured $250,000 for the job," the group mentioned, incorporating that it led to a dispute in between the businessman and also the supposed planner of the spell.Navalny's group mentioned it found yourself along with audio as well as visual documentation of Nevzlin's involvement coming from a so-called "fixer" named Andrei Matus who was actually supposedly ordered to take hold of the hit man's phones..Staff Navalny stated it had prepared a conference along with Matus in Montenegro, where the "fixer" played a recording of his telephone call with Nevzlin proving the information of the strike on Volkov and 2 other attacks on banished opponent participants.Group Navalny said Matus "faded away" right after learning that they will certainly not be able to spend him for the information. "A few weeks later on our experts observed his materials on the [Kremlin-funded broadcaster] Russia Today site," Group Navalny pointed out.The Moscow Times could not individually validate any one of the components posted on Navalny's site.Group Navalny stated it believes "stupid mindless detestation" integrated with "political competition" may have driven the strike on Volkov..Nevzlin has certainly not replied to the accusations, which jeopardize steering a deeper rift in Russia's presently broken opponent.Reacting To Team Navalny's accusations against Nevzlin, Khodorkovsky pointed out: " Either it is true, and after that Leonid Nevzlin has actually freaked. Or it is actually an FSB provocation and also a counterfeit on which a bunch of amount of money has actually been actually devoted. Our experts have actually viewed such provocations greater than as soon as, as an example, in the Magnitsky instance." Somehow, [Staff Navalny investigator] Maria Pevchikh with certainty selects the very first model. For completely understandable explanations, I pitch in the direction of the 2nd," he proceeded, calling for the accusations to become investigated through police.Team Navalny said it notified the law enforcement agencies of countries where Nevzlin is actually believed to reside and also was ready to surrender its own files." I can easily certainly not wrap my head around this information yet. Khodorkovsky devoted ten years in jail Putin expropriated his multi-billion-dollar business. Given that 2013, Khodorkovsky was actually a famous vocal in expatriation. (Nevzlin fled to Israel in 2003, when Khodorkovsky's realm was under assault from Putin.)," financial expert and political analyst Konstantin Sonin wrote on X (in the past Twitter)." What I can easily say is actually that @navalny's group has possessed an exquisite image in fact-finding journalism. With Alexei and afterwards without him, they found lots of vital incidents of [the Putin regimen's] nepotism, their impact networks, their army connections, and so on," he composed.
