Alexey Navalny became a disorder

The Investigative Committee charged Alexei Navalny under Part 3 of Article 33, part 4 of article 160 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Organization of embezzlement of someone else's property on an especially large scale"). As a preventive measure for a lawyer and a blogger, a notorure subscription was chosen.

According to the investigation, Navalny, being in 2009, a volunteer by the Governor of the Kirov Region Nikita Belykh, convinced the director of Kirovles (a state -owned company engaged in logging) Vyacheslav Opalev to conclude an unprofitable contract with Vyatka Forest Company LLC. As a result, the state -owned enterprise was damaged in the amount of more than 16 million rubles.

Initially, the criminal case against Navalny was initiated under Article 165 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("causing property damage by deception or abuse of trust") - up to 5 years. Later, according to the SK website , after conducting economic examinations, the case was retrained for a more difficult article. At the same time, the assessment of the amount of damage has also changed: from 1 million rubles to 16 million rubles.

Vadim Kobzev, lawyer Alexei Navalny:

- Why did you re -qualify the case?

- There used to be a million, before there was another article, a different corpus delicti. In fact, now it’s generally a new criminal case, only under the old number. And in this sense, the prosecution itself confirms that investigators absolutely legally dismissed Navalny in April. The corpus delicti that they were looking for was not and not.

- Where did the amount of damage in 16 million rubles come from?

- 16 million rubles - this is the revenue of the company, which had an agreement with Kirovles. The presentation of this amount as damage is absurd. We do not understand how this can be. Then there will be some other prosecution where this figure will be specified. They simply sold forests for 16 million rubles, bought for 14 million. This is Kirovles’s money, a million with something remained at the VLK OJSC (Vyatka Forest Company-Publicpost). Why do they believe that all this money was stolen is not clear. It turns out an analogy with Khodorkovsky: he stole all oil, Navalny - the whole forest.

- What will be your actions to protect the client?

- We will appeal all investigative actions: to extend the terms of the investigation, refusals to issue documents after the closure of the case in April. We were refused to issue all documents: we do not have a decision on the termination of the investigation, there are no documents on the resumption of the investigation. We will appeal the recognizance not to leave.

- What are the prospects of the case?

- If they were charged, then regardless of the availability of evidence, they will send this case to court in Kirov. An interesting point: for 2 years, while this case was checking this case Opalev (CEO of Kirovles Vyacheslav Opalev - Publicpost) accused Navalny that Navalny forced him to sign an unprofitable contract, but in today's prosecution Opalev was an accomplice of Navalny, that is, they agreed together to commit a crime and the accomplices, friends, and drinking companions. That's how!

The accusation of Navalny caused an ambiguous reaction on the network.

Vladimir soloviev @vrsoloviev, TV presenter: "One does not exempt the guilt of one from the responsibility of the other. Even the resignation of Bastrykin will not help Navalny."

Olga Romanova , Executive Director of the Rus Sitting movement: "A dangerous article. The MBH and Lebedev have such a thing in the second case."

@usachev: "Navalny was wasting the whole forest and now Bastrykin has nowhere to carry people for interrogations."

Andrey Isaev @ak_isaev , State Duma deputy from the United Russia party : "Navalny ( @navalny ) chose a pug tactics.

Mr. Navalny, who taught the country for several years, saying that someone there was a crook and a thief, he himself is convicted of illegal actions. In order to divert attention from accusations addressed to him, he resorted to well -known tactics: the attack is the best way of defense. Two pugs live in my house. In the Russian tradition, these dogs are also called pugs. Knight Krylov’s fable about the elephant and the pug. When the pugs are very frightened, they begin to growl, bark and demonstrate aggressiveness in every way. Navalny seems to have chosen a pug tactics. With his aggressiveness, he shows everyone that he is very frightened by a criminal case against him, realizing that a stigma in a gun. "

Anton Krasovsky, journalist, TV presenter: “Navalny threatens up to 10 years in prison. Blogger, who wrote a note“ Karelia Tired of Popov ”was put on an international wanted list. Three quarters of the journalists who came to the trial of Pussy Riot were not allowed into the meeting room.“ Vedomosti ”increased, the creation of a new investigative body is not excluded.” Here you are, friends, and - new Russia.
