.The group of late Russian opposition body Alexei Navalny on Thursday charged a Russian-Israeli billionaire of ordering the terrible March attack on Navalny ally Leonid Volkov, naming proof it got.Volkov, Navalny's ex-chief of personnel and also previous leader of his Anti-Corruption Foundation, was struck along with teargas and also a hammer outside his home in Lithuania on March 12. Poland claimed it jailed 3 suspects in connection with the attack, with Lithuania mentioning it thought Russian unique companies lagged the assault." Leonid Nevzlin bought the beating and also kidnapping of Volkov," Navalny's group claimed.Nevzlin is actually the former co-owner of ousted Kremlin doubter Mikhail Khodorkovsky's now-defunct oil provider Yukos. He moved abroad to Israel in 2003." Yet Nevzlin was actually dissatisfied with the result as well as didn't pay the guaranteed $250,000 for the job," the crew stated, including that it led to a conflict in between the businessman and also the supposed planner of the attack.Navalny's group said it found yourself with audio and also visual proof of Nevzlin's involvement coming from a so-called "fixer" called Andrei Matus that was actually reportedly ordered to appropriate the gunman's phones..Group Navalny said it had actually organized a conference with Matus in Montenegro, where the "fixer" participated in a recording of his phone conversation along with Nevzlin supporting the particulars of the strike on Volkov and pair of other attacks on banished adversary participants.Crew Navalny claimed Matus "faded away" right after knowing that they will certainly not manage to pay him for the relevant information. "A few full weeks later we found his products on the [Kremlin-funded disc jockey] Russia Today web site," Team Navalny said.The Moscow Times might not individually confirm some of the products posted on Navalny's site.Team Navalny stated it thinks "dumb purposeless disgust" incorporated along with "political competitors" may have driven the strike on Volkov..Nevzlin has actually certainly not reacted to the complaints, which take the chance of driving a much deeper rift in Russia's actually broken opponent.Responding to Group Navalny's accusations versus Nevzlin, Khodorkovsky mentioned: " Either it holds true, and after that Leonid Nevzlin has freaked. Or even it is actually an FSB provocation as well as a fake on which a lot of amount of money has been spent. We have actually observed such provocations greater than when, for example, in the Magnitsky situation." For some reason, [Crew Navalny private investigator] Maria Pevchikh with certainty selects the initial version. For wonderfully understandable main reasons, I bend in the direction of the second," he continued, asking for the accusations to become checked out by police.Staff Navalny said it alerted the police of nations where Nevzlin is believed to dwell and prepared to turn over its documents." I may not wrap my scalp around this details yet. Khodorkovsky spent one decade behind bars Putin expropriated his multi-billion-dollar service. Given that 2013, Khodorkovsky was a popular vocal in expatriation. (Nevzlin left to Israel in 2003, when Khodorkovsky's realm was under attack coming from Putin.)," economist and also political analyst Konstantin Sonin created on X (in the past Twitter)." What I may point out is actually that @navalny's team has had an impeccable image in investigative journalism. Along with Alexei and after that without him, they discovered several essential incidents of [the Putin regimen's] shadiness, their influence systems, their armed forces connections, etc," he wrote.
