Markin: There is no policy in the Kirovles case

The case of the theft of the property of the Kirovles company, the accused of which Alexei Navalny passes is not political. According to RIA Novosti, on Sunday on Sunday on the NTV television channel said the official representative of the Investigative Committee Vladimir Markin.

“You remember, after we transferred the case to court, I expressed the position of the Investigative Committee that we think about this case and in terms of the fact that this is not political at all, how they are trying to inspire it at all ... This is a common, banal business,” Markin said in the Iron Lady’s questions and the chief editor of the RUSSIA TV channel Today Margarita Simonyan.

According to investigators, Navalny, being an adviser to the governor of the Kirov region, organized the theft of Kirovles property. To do this, he allegedly conspired with the director of the Vyatka forest company by officer and general director of Kirovles Vyacheslav Opalev. The investigation believes that from May to September 2009, more than 10 thousand cubic meters of forest products were stolen. Thus, the budget of the Kirov region caused damage worth more than 16 million rubles. "Navalny threatens up to 10 years in prison.

Vladimir Markin is not the first time commenting on the Kirovles case. In April, in an interview with Izvestia, he stated that the investigation of this criminal case accelerated the public activity of Navalny. “If the defendant attracts attention with all his might, one might even say, teases the power - now, they say, what the whole in white against the general background, then the interest in its past increased and the process of bringing to clean water, of course, accelerated,” Markin explained. He also expressed the opinion that Navalny has foreign "curators", which calculated the script of criminal prosecution. "It is unlikely that his curators did not know that it was likely to be criminal prosecution. That is, they counted on such a resonance, they say, they offend the truth -seeker chopping the truth -uterus," Markin said.

Alexey Navalny is a defendant in several criminal cases at once. According to investigators, during the 2007 election campaign, the advertising company of Navalny Alleck stole 100 million rubles from the Party of the ATP. The opposition is also checked for involvement in fraud with shares of OJSC Urzhum alcohol plant. Another criminal case against Navalny and his brother Oleg was instituted in December at the request of the head of "Yves Rocher" Bruno Lepru. Oleg Navalny’s company “The General Subscription” supposedly rendered ”Yves Roche“ transport and expedition services at high prices.
