Came to Yandex.Money

Investigative actions are carried out as part of a criminal case of fraud in the elections of the Moscow Mayor in 2013

On May 23, with a search, they came to three supporters of Alexei Navalny. In addition, the search was held in the Moscow office of Yandex. Money"

Investigators came with searches for the municipal deputy Konstantin Yankauskas and entrepreneurs Nikolai Lyaskin and Vladimir Ashurkov. According to the official representative of the Investigative Committee Vladimir Markin, they are suspected of embezzlement of money transferred by voters to the Navalny campaign via the Internet.
Nikolai Lyaskin received a non -departure subscription. According to him, the search in his apartment was calm, but the investigators also came to his relatives. “The parents had a mess at home. The younger pregnant sister was grabbed by the hands, pushed. The person who did this refused to introduce himself. Sergey Ryabov led there,” Lyaskin wrote on his Twitter. Vladimir Ashurkov is now living abroad. During the search, Konstantin Yankauskas was seized a laptop. "At home, my mother first took the report" Putin. Results, "then they saw that he was with the autograph of Boris Nemtsov and returned," wrote the municipal deputy on Twitter.
“It is difficult to get rid of the idea that the initiation of the case is timed directly to the start of the election company at the Moscow State Duma,” the lawyer Alexei Navalny Vadim Kobzev told The New Times. “Moreover, searches are conducted by those people who are independent opposition candidates who have announced their desire to participate in the elections. Theoretically everything can end for about 10 years. But it cannot be excluded that the elections are excluded that the election is The Moscow City Duma will pass, and all this will be safely buried. According to the lawyer, the search in Yandex. Money in this situation is absolutely logical - the investigation will check exactly where the funds raised went.
According to the IC, in July 2013, Yankauskas, Lyaskin and Ashurkov transferred one million rubles to the election account of the candidate of Moscow, Alexei Navalny. After, according to Markin, they posted on the Internet an appeal to the voluntary replenishment of their electronic wallets in order to compensate for the transfer to the account of bulk funds and to support his political activity. They managed to collect more than 10 million rubles. The investigation believes that Yankauskas, Lyaskin and Ashurkov stole the collected money.
The claims of law enforcement agencies to financing the election campaign of Alexei Navalny through Yandex.Money became known before the election - in August 2013. Then the audit was initiated by the LDPR. Alexei Navalny refuted the illegal financing of his election campaign, calling them an attempt to discredit it before the elections.
