The Alexei Navalny Anti-Corruption Foundation has filed a lawsuit for the protection of honor and dignity against Prosecutor General Yuri Chaika. As stated in the statement of claim, Chaika insulted the authors of the FBK investigation about the family of the Prosecutor General, calling it false.
The lawsuit was filed with the Presnensky District Court of Moscow.
FBK published a film and a large text about the business of the sons of Yuri Chaika on the afternoon of December 1. The protagonist of the investigation is Artem Chaika, the eldest son of the Prosecutor General. The materials say that he does business with the ex-wife of the Deputy Prosecutor General, Olga Lopatina, who, in turn, had a joint company with the wife of Sergei Tsapok, the leader of the organized criminal group from Kushchevskaya.
In addition, FBK found out that Artem Chaika owns a house in Switzerland for three million dollars. The first capital, according to the FBK, was earned by the son of the Prosecutor General by carrying out a raider seizure of the shipping company.
On December 3, Yury Chaika stated that "the information presented is deliberately false and has no basis in fact." According to him, a certain “customer” paid for the investigation, whose name the prosecutor promised to name soon. Essentially Chaika said nothing.
FBK decided to sue Chaika in order to hear the name of the customer of the investigation at the meeting.
