Yankauskas was released from house arrest

The senior investigator of the Office for the Investigation of the Particularly important cases of the capital's department of the Investigative Committee, Senior Lieutenant of Justice, Vitaly Tyurin, released the party functionar on December 5, the municipal deputy of the Zyuzino Konstantin Yankauskas district from the house arrest under the recognizance not to leave. A fragment of the relevant resolution was published on his twitter by opposition lawyer Sergei Panchenko.

On Thursday, a year has expired from the date of sending Yankauskas under house arrest. Meanwhile, the accusation of the final edition of the opposition has not yet been brought.

Yankauskas, along with the leader of the Moscow Branch of the Progress, Nikolai Lyaskin and the former Executive Director of the Corruption Fund, Vladimir Ashurkov, is a defendant in the case of fraud that allegedly took place in the financing of the campaign of Alexei Navalny in the elections of the Moscow Mayor in the summer of 2013. The case was opened in May last year, when Yankauskas and Lyaskin were going to nominate to the deputies of the Moscow City Duma. Each of the defendants was imputed part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code (fraud on an especially large scale), which provides for up to 10 years of the colony.

According to the investigation, the defendants in the case transferred 1 million rubles to the account of Navalny. Then they turned to the Internet users with a request to transfer money to their electronic wallets to reimburse the Navalny funds transferred to the account, as well as support his political activity. More than 10 millions of rubles accumulated in the accounts, according to the TFR, were assigned to the defendants.

Lyaskin, unlike Yankauskas, is under the subscription about the lower room. Ashurkov managed to hide from the country. In March 2015, he announced the receipt of political asylum in the UK .
