Candidates for mayor of Moscow are not prohibited from doing business abroad, Valentin Gorbunov said on Thursday in connection with the scandal around the Montenegrin company Alexei Navalny . "We are talking about the ban on having real estate and accounts abroad. Alexei Navalny reported that he has no accounts, there is no securities, there is no real estate. There is no such direct ban on having a business (abroad. - Ed.)," Gorbunov said in an interview with RIA Novosti.
The head of the Mosgorisbirkom again emphasized that no complaints about the candidate of Navalny foreign business or assets have yet been received by the commission. “If the documents confirming are received, we will consider them within the framework of the law,” Gorbunov added.
On Thursday, the tax administration of Montenegro confirmed the fact of the existence of a company registered in the name of Navalny, as well as his business partners, Maria Gaidar and Mikhail Eshkin. "According to our notes, Alexei Navalny was registered as one of the founders of the MRD Company, registered on November 20, 2007," the Tax Administration of Montenegro, published by the Prime Agency, said .
It follows from the document that the creation of this company was not actually completed. She was not registered, did not open accounts and could not conduct any activities. As the head of the headquarters of Navalny Leonid Volkov notes, according to the Montenegrin laws, the registration of this company should have been canceled automatically, but for some reason this did not happen. The headquarters of Navalny sent requests to the Montenegrin authorities to clarify the situation.
Previously, Navalny denied that he was a co -founder of the Montenegrin MRD Company. Volkov suggested that hackers could make an appropriate entry in the register of the Tax Service of Montenegro.
On Thursday, Volkov explained that he had put forward a version of hackers to find "some rational explanations of what is happening." According to the head of the headquarters, the version that Navalny deliberately hid the presence of a company “does not withstand the slightest criticism”: “For some reason, a empty company is needed for some reason, not leading any activity that does not stand on tax accounting and, therefore, de facto not existing that he, knowing about it and wanting to keep this company at all costs, and understanding that it is easily in a public The registry, endanates all its election campaign, hellish efforts of its own, its headquarters and thousands of volunteers, but does not take elementary actions to eliminate this company before the start of the campaign. "
Earlier on Thursday, Gorbunov stated that the commission could in the near futurefile a lawsuit in court to remove Navalny from participating in the elections of the Moscow Mayor. According to Gorbunov, the commission conducts an audit of the Navalny election campaign. “If the violations exceed the norms established by law, then the issue of canceling the registration of a candidate Navalny will be,” the official concluded.
As explained in the commission, Navalny violates the order of election campaign. In particular, he distributes agitmaterials that are not paid from the funds of the candidate and not containing weekends laid down by law.
Applications for Navalny’s violation were twice by his competitor in the elections, the chairman of the Just Russia Nikolai Levichv. On August 13, according to the denunciation of Levichv, the police stormed the apartment on Chistoprudny Boulevard, which is rented by the supporter of Navalny Vasily Droovetsky, and conducted a search there. The next day, an unnamed employee of the Moscow City War Issue said that during a search in the apartment they found about 2 tons of campaign materials. Drovetsky and other supporter of Navalny, Oleg Kozlovsky, received 10 days of administrative arrest in Part 1 of Article 19.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses (disobedience to the legal request of the policeman).
On August 20, "Fair Russia" filed a new denunciation to Navalny to MGIK. It states that on August 15-19 on election pickets in support of the candidate from the RPR-Parnas "Unidentified Persons" distributed printed agitation published with a number of violations.
On the morning of August 22, the police held a raid in the printing house of the Moscow Publishing House, where agitation is printed for Navalny, as well as the candidate from the Communist Party of Ivan Melnikov, and arranged a recess of documents there. The raid was organized by a written order of the deputy chief of the police in the Northern District of Moscow.
Meanwhile, on Thursday, the Moscow City Court rejected Navalny's claims against the acting Mayor of the capital Sergei Sobyanin . On August 19, Navalny accused Sobyanin that he did not introduce the written consent of President Vladimir Putin to his nomination in the Moscow City Writing. Meanwhile, according to the law, Sobyanin, who resigned to participate in the new elections, must enlist such consent. On Tuesday, Gorbunov demonstrated this document , however, his legal force was doubted by the supporters of the candidate from the RPR-Parnas.
The representative of Navalny asked the court to appoint Putin’s handwriting examination on a document on which he allows Sobyanin to participate in the mayor of the city. The court rejected this petition, as well as a petition to call Putin as a witness.
