.The group of overdue Russian opponent physique Alexei Navalny on Thursday implicated a Russian-Israeli billionaire of purchasing the terrible March attack on Navalny ally Leonid Volkov, naming documentation it obtained.Volkov, Navalny's ex-chief of workers and also past chairman of his Anti-Corruption Foundation, was struck along with tear gas and also a hammer outside his home in Lithuania on March 12. Poland said it detained three suspects about the attack, along with Lithuania mentioning it suspected Russian exclusive companies were behind the assault." Leonid Nevzlin purchased the pounding as well as kidnapping of Volkov," Navalny's crew said.Nevzlin is the previous co-owner of exiled Kremlin critic Mikhail Khodorkovsky's now-defunct oil company Yukos. He departed to Israel in 2003." But Nevzlin was actually unhappy along with the end result and really did not pay for the assured $250,000 for the work," the staff said, adding that it caused a disagreement between the business person and also the alleged coordinator of the attack.Navalny's team said it ended up with audio and also aesthetic evidence of Nevzlin's participation from an alleged "fixer" called Andrei Matus who was actually reportedly ordered to take hold of the hit man's phones..Staff Navalny said it had actually organized a meeting along with Matus in Montenegro, where the "fixer" played a recording of his phone conversation with Nevzlin proving the information of the attack on Volkov and also two various other strikes on banished opponent members.Group Navalny said Matus "went away" soon after knowing that they will not be able to spend him for the info. "A few weeks eventually our company viewed his materials on the [Kremlin-funded journalist] Russia Today site," Crew Navalny stated.The Moscow Moments could possibly not independently verify some of the components published on Navalny's website.Crew Navalny mentioned it strongly believes "foolish senseless hatred" combined with "political competition" may have driven the strike on Volkov..Nevzlin has certainly not reacted to the accusations, which run the risk of steering a deeper break in Russia's presently fragmented opposition.Reacting To Crew Navalny's accusations versus Nevzlin, Khodorkovsky said: " Either it holds true, and afterwards Leonid Nevzlin has actually gone mad. Or even it is actually an FSB provocation as well as a fake on which a bunch of amount of money has been actually spent. Our company have actually found such justifications greater than when, for instance, in the Magnitsky scenario." For some reason, [Staff Navalny private investigator] Maria Pevchikh confidently decides on the initial version. For perfectly understandable explanations, I lean in the direction of the 2nd," he continued, calling for the charges to become investigated by police.Crew Navalny claimed it notified the police department of countries where Nevzlin is thought to live and prepared to give up its documents." I can easily not cover my head around this information however,. Khodorkovsky invested 10 years behind bars Putin expropriated his multi-billion-dollar business. Given that 2013, Khodorkovsky was actually a noticeable voice in exile. (Nevzlin fled to Israel in 2003, when Khodorkovsky's realm was actually under attack coming from Putin.)," economic expert as well as political commentator Konstantin Sonin wrote on X (previously Twitter)." What I can easily say is that @navalny's group has actually had an impressive credibility and reputation in investigative news. Along with Alexei and then without him, they discovered several critical episodes of [the Putin routine's] corruption, their influence networks, their army links, and so on," he composed.
