Two cases around Kirovles, a case of fraud in connection with postal transportation - this was not enough for the Investigative Committee to deal with Alexei Navalny (the Bolotnaya case, in which Navalny is a witness, does not count). Now the oppositionist is being investigated for the theft of money from the Union of Right Forces - maybe, who remembers, there was such a liberal party, the Union of Right Forces, which the Kremlin first beheaded and then ate, and from the belch mixed with the belches of two less memorable parties, it made an unforgettable and the still twitching “Right Cause”.
Well, the Investigative Committee has its own just cause. According to investigators, the Allekt company, headed by Navalny, entered into a contract with SPS for the provision of advertising services and received about 100 million rubles. This money allegedly later ended up in the accounts of some “false enterprises or so-called shell companies,” and the terms of the contract were not fulfilled.
Navalny denies the accusations. He noted that the applicants have no complaints against him: “Allect” (recently liquidated) was indeed an SPS agent for outdoor advertising, and, according to him, quoted by Interfax, “SPS says that everything is fine and we are very pleased " Let us remind you that in the so-called “postal case” the Russian Post, which formally should be considered the victim, again has no claims against Navalny and his brother Oleg, who is also accused of fraud.
Some of the cases brought against Navalny arose as a result of the hacking of Navalny’s correspondence with the governor of the Kirov region, Nikita Belykh, whose voluntary assistant the oppositionist was for some time. Belykh previously held the post of leader of the Union of Right Forces and, according to unverified data, in 2007 he squandered 108.7 million rubles belonging to the party through Allect. The governor, however, stated after the hacking of correspondence that he had communicated with investigators in 2007 and no violations were identified. The fact of theft is refuted by Belykh’s former deputy in the Union of Right Forces (and then one of the three co-chairs of Right Cause, also former) Leonid Gozman: “If something was unclean, I would definitely know about it,” Interfax quotes him as saying "
