The search in the office of Navalny ended

During the search, law enforcement officers opened the safe in the Corruption Fund of Alexei Navalny, but considered that money and documents were not of interest to the investigation. According to Interfax, Anna Vedyta, spokeswoman for Navalny, reported this. “The search was over. They didn’t seize anything,” she said. According to her, during the investigative measures, a safe was opened in which law enforcement officials found the fund’s money, work books of its employees and other documents. “None of this was removed, since this is not of interest for the investigation,” Vedyta said.
