.The group of late Russian opponent physique Alexei Navalny on Thursday accused a Russian-Israeli billionaire of ordering the terrible March strike on Navalny ally Leonid Volkov, naming proof it got.Volkov, Navalny's ex-chief of personnel as well as previous leader of his Anti-Corruption Structure, was actually assaulted with teargas as well as a hammer outside his house in Lithuania on March 12. Poland claimed it arrested 3 suspects among the assault, with Lithuania claiming it believed Russian unique services lagged the attack." Leonid Nevzlin bought the beating and kidnapping of Volkov," Navalny's team said.Nevzlin is the previous co-owner of ousted Kremlin critic Mikhail Khodorkovsky's now-defunct oil company Yukos. He migrated to Israel in 2003." However Nevzlin was actually dissatisfied along with the outcome and really did not spend the guaranteed $250,000 for the job," the group said, including that it brought about an issue in between the business owner and also the alleged planner of the attack.Navalny's group said it wound up with audio and graphic documentation of Nevzlin's involvement from a supposed "fixer" named Andrei Matus who was supposedly purchased to take hold of the hit man's phones..Team Navalny mentioned it had actually prepared a conference with Matus in Montenegro, where the "fixer" participated in a recording of his phone conversation along with Nevzlin substantiating the details of the assault on Volkov and also two other assaults on banished opponent participants.Team Navalny mentioned Matus "disappeared" not long after learning that they will certainly not have the ability to spend him for the information. "A handful of weeks later our company found his components on the [Kremlin-funded broadcaster] Russia Today site," Group Navalny said.The Moscow Times might certainly not individually verify any one of the products released on Navalny's website.Crew Navalny stated it believes "stupid ridiculous disgust" combined with "political competitors" might have steered the attack on Volkov..Nevzlin has certainly not reacted to the complaints, which jeopardize driving a much deeper break in Russia's actually fragmented opponent.Reacting To Group Navalny's allegations versus Nevzlin, Khodorkovsky pointed out: " Either it holds true, and then Leonid Nevzlin has actually gone mad. Or it is actually an FSB justification as well as a counterfeit on which a bunch of cash has been devoted. Our team have actually found such justifications much more than once, as an example, in the Magnitsky scenario." Somehow, [Crew Navalny detective] Maria Pevchikh with certainty opts for the 1st version. For perfectly easy to understand explanations, I lean towards the second," he continued, calling for the claims to become checked out through police.Crew Navalny said it advised the law enforcement agencies of nations where Nevzlin is thought to dwell as well as was ready to turn over its files." I can easily certainly not cover my head around this relevant information yet. Khodorkovsky invested 10 years in jail Putin expropriated his multi-billion-dollar service. Considering that 2013, Khodorkovsky was actually a famous vocal in exile. (Nevzlin ran away to Israel in 2003, when Khodorkovsky's empire was actually under assault from Putin.)," business analyst and also political commentator Konstantin Sonin created on X (formerly Twitter)." What I can state is that @navalny's crew has had an exquisite credibility and reputation in investigative writing. With Alexei and then without him, they found several important incidents of [the Putin program's] corruption, their influence systems, their army hookups, etc," he wrote.
