ANO Center for Anti -Corruption Research and Initiatives of Transpensers International -P received an idea of the Tagan inter -district prosecutor’s office demanding “eliminate violations of legislation on non -profit organizations,” the NPO website reported . In fact, the Russian branch of Transparency International is proposed to voluntarily register in the register of "foreign agents".
The prosecutor's office justifies its conclusions about the political activity of the NPO by publication on the website of the press release organization about the release of the next index of perception of corruption in 2014.
In "Transpenseri International - P" they categorically disagree with the conclusions of the prosecutor's office and are sure that the assumptions underlying them are "erroneous in nature." The NKO's idea made by the prosecutor intends to challenge.
"As you can understand from our name, the Center" Transpenseni International - P "is a part of the international movement Transparency International, which has been opposing corruption around the world for more than twenty years. We are very pleased that our press releases have been attracting the attention of superprofessions from the Tagan prosecutor's office. In my opinion, it would also be useful for them to read the National Planning Planning Planning plan Corruption, and then again - his own performance, ”said Anton Common CEO.
On January 30, on Friday, the prosecutor's office began checking the Russian branch of TI "In connection with the performance of the functions of a foreign agent." The inspectors demanded immediately after the weekend to provide the charter documents, contracts with donors, papers confirming the expenditure of funds, information about the events, on publications in the media and a performance in television and radio programs.
