Navalny announced the deprivation of his status of a lawyer

The Russian Lawyer Chamber of Moscow deprived Alexei Navalny's status of a lawyer. This was announced in his blog by the politician himself, commenting on the publication on the website of the "Young Guard" United Russia.

The leader of this organization Maxim Rudnev previously turned to the head of the chamber Henry Reznik with an open letter. He demanded that the lawyer be deprived of a bulk status in connection with the presence of his incredible criminal record for committing an intentional crime.

Navalny said that he was deprived of his status on November 16. According to him, the lawyer chamber did not have a legal opportunity to make a different decision. A notification of deprivation of the status of a lawyer has already been provided to the Ministry of Justice.

"That is why yesterday, when I testified in the Nikulinsky court in the" Swamp case ", I said to the court’s questions about the place of work: temporarily unemployed," Navalny explained. The politician also noted that, together with the status of a lawyer, he lost the status of a special lawsuit, due to which all criminal cases against Navalny were investigated by the Main Investigative Department of the Investigative Committee.

“The deprivation of status will make certain changes to my activity and life, but I want to assure the“ Young Guard of United Russia ”and the United Russia itself, which will not become easier for them,” Navalny promised.

Navalny was sentenced to five years conditionally for theft at the Kirovles enterprise. Also, the so -called "case" Yves Rocher is investigated in relation to the politician and his brother.

Article 17 of the Federal Law on the Bar states that the entry into force of the court sentence of the court is one of the reasons for depriving the lawyer of his status. The decision on this should be adopted by the Council of the Law Chamber of the region, the register of which includes information about the lawyer.

The idea of ​​the termination of the status can be directed by the territorial body of justice. If the Council of the Chamber does not consider the issue within three months, then the territorial body of justice has the right to apply to the court.

Thus, public organizations, according to the law, are not among the subjects endowed with the right to demand deprivation of the status of a lawyer.
