.The team of late Russian adversary figure Alexei Navalny on Thursday charged a Russian-Israeli billionaire of buying the violent March assault on Navalny ally Leonid Volkov, citing documentation it obtained.Volkov, Navalny's ex-chief of personnel and former chairman of his Anti-Corruption Base, was attacked along with tear gas and also a hammer outside his home in Lithuania on March 12. Poland said it apprehended 3 suspects in connection with the attack, with Lithuania saying it thought Russian exclusive services were behind the strike." Leonid Nevzlin ordered the whipping as well as kidnapping of Volkov," Navalny's crew claimed.Nevzlin is actually the past co-owner of ousted Kremlin critic Mikhail Khodorkovsky's now-defunct oil company Yukos. He emigrated to Israel in 2003." But Nevzlin was unhappy along with the end result as well as didn't pay the guaranteed $250,000 for the work," the group mentioned, incorporating that it led to a dispute in between the business person and the claimed planner of the spell.Navalny's crew mentioned it found yourself with audio and visual proof of Nevzlin's involvement coming from an alleged "fixer" called Andrei Matus that was supposedly ordered to seize the hitmen's phones..Team Navalny stated it had actually organized a conference along with Matus in Montenegro, where the "fixer" participated in a recording of his phone conversation with Nevzlin affirming the details of the assault on Volkov and also two other strikes on exiled opposition members.Group Navalny said Matus "went away" soon after knowing that they would not manage to spend him for the details. "A few weeks later our experts viewed his materials on the [Kremlin-funded journalist] Russia Today site," Team Navalny pointed out.The Moscow Moments can certainly not individually confirm some of the materials posted on Navalny's site.Staff Navalny said it strongly believes "dumb mindless disgust" mixed along with "political competition" may have driven the attack on Volkov..Nevzlin has certainly not replied to the accusations, which take the chance of driving a deeper break in Russia's already broken adversary.Responding to Team Navalny's complaints against Nevzlin, Khodorkovsky claimed: " Either it holds true, and after that Leonid Nevzlin has actually gone mad. Or even it is actually an FSB provocation and a counterfeit on which a bunch of money has been invested. Our company have actually viewed such justifications much more than as soon as, as an example, in the Magnitsky scenario." For some reason, [Staff Navalny investigator] Maria Pevchikh with confidence selects the very first model. For perfectly logical factors, I bend in the direction of the second," he continued, calling for the charges to become examined by law enforcement.Team Navalny claimed it notified the police department of nations where Nevzlin is thought to live and was ready to surrender its documents." I can not cover my scalp around this information yet. Khodorkovsky invested 10 years in jail Putin expropriated his multi-billion-dollar company. Considering that 2013, Khodorkovsky was a popular vocal in exile. (Nevzlin left to Israel in 2003, when Khodorkovsky's empire was actually under assault from Putin.)," economist as well as political commentator Konstantin Sonin wrote on X (formerly Twitter)." What I can easily mention is actually that @navalny's team has actually possessed a flawless reputation in investigative news. Along with Alexei and then without him, they found numerous essential episodes of [the Putin regimen's] nepotism, their influence networks, their army connections, etc," he created.
