In the Zamoskvoretsky court, the process began on the claim of Timchenko against Nemtsov and Milov
In the Zamoskvoretsky court of Moscow, the process of businessman Gennady Timchenko began the claims of the authors of the report “Putin. Results” to Boris Nemtsov and Vladimir Milov. As the correspondent of the faces reports, the court submits an expanded version of the claim for 100 pages. The plaintiff demands to exclude from the report “Putin. Results. 10 years” Timchenko’s mention, including as a household name, and publish a refutation in Kommersant and the blogs of the defendants.
In particular, according to the representative of the plaintiff, "evidence of Timchenko’s allegedly friendly relations with the Prime Minister of the government." Timchenko requires 300 thousand rubles of compensation and reimbursement of legal costs.
The lawsuit of a businessman who owns a share in Gunvor was filed at the end of September. Timchenko demands to refute three fragments of a report from a section on corruption in the highest echelons of power: that he is a friend of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin about his involvement in corruption schemes. In addition, Timchenko believes that the phrase “Putin’s old friends, who were nobody before his coming to power - Gennady Timchenko, Yuri Kovalchuk, the Rotenberg brothers, turned into dollar billionaires“ defeats his honor and dignity.
Timchenko, along with the Shcresh Torbjorn Torquist, is a co -owner of Gunvor registered in Amsterdam with a turnover of $ 53 billion according to 2009. The main office of the oil register is located in Geneva. The company also controls the Volga Resources investment fund registered in Luxembourg.
Volga Resources owns 23.13 percent of shares in the largest independent gas manufacturer in Russia Novatek and a control package at Stroytransgaz, the largest construction company serving the Russian fuel and energy sector. In February, the magazine "Finance" estimated Timchenko’s condition at $ 4.15 billion, which provided him with 23rd place in the ranking of Russian billionaires.
In May 2008, Timchenko published a letter in the Financial Times in the newspaper, which emphasized that he was familiar with the Prime Minister and former President of Russia Vladimir Putin not as close as in the press, and Gunvor's rapid growth was not achieved thanks to his political relations. Putin also always categorically denied that he is the owner or beneficiary of Gunvor.
The 48-page report "Putin. Results. 10 years" was presented by Nemtsov and Milov on June 14 as part of the Moscow International Book Festival ( 
The day before, it became known that the co -chairs of the Party of People’s Freedom Boris Nemtsov, Vladimir Milov and Vladimir Ryzhkov will sue Vladimir Putin on the fact of slander. The prime minister’s statements, which he admitted during the live broadcast, are “frankly false and slanderous in nature,” is emphasized in the statement.
Answering the questions of the viewers, Putin said that the leaders of the democratic coalition "for Russia without the arbitrariness and corruption of" Nemts, Ryzhkov and Milov want money and authorities. “In the 90s, they dragged along with Berezovsky and those who are now in places of imprisonment, whom we remembered today (Mikhail Khodorkovsky.-Ed.). Then they were dragged from the feeder, they were in place. Now they want to return and replenish their pockets. And if we allow them to do this, they will not be limited in separate billions, and they will be sold out all of Russia,” said Patin. Answering the question of whether he was ashamed of the country, Putin said: "No, not ashamed."
