A lawyer from Omsk, Rinat Karymov, filed a lawsuit demanding the recovery of 100 thousand rubles from the founder of the Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK) Alexei Navalny. The lawyer wrote about this on his page on the social network.
The Kirovsky District Court of Omsk confirmed the receipt of the statement of claim, in which Karymov points out the moral damage caused to his patriotic convictions by the publication of the business of the sons of Prosecutor General Yuri Chaika.
The lawyer believes that the authors of the investigation do not have evidence of violations of anti-corruption laws by the family of the Prosecutor General. In this regard, Karymov also asked the local prosecutor's office to check for slander.
Earlier, a lawyer from Omsk filed lawsuits against the Reuters agency and the human rights organization Human Rights Watch, demanding proof of the death of Syrian civilians during the bombing of Russian aerospace forces. These publications, Karymov said, also caused him moral harm.
This is not the first attempt to sue Alexei Navalny in connection with the investigation. Earlier, the Lublin Court of Moscow refused to accept the lawsuit of the ex-wife of the Deputy Prosecutor General of Russia, Olga Lopatina, against the Anti-Corruption Foundation.
Recall that FBK and Novaya Gazeta published an investigation into the business of the children of Yuri Chaika, as well as the wives of his deputies. The article tells about the foreign multimillion-dollar property of the son of the Prosecutor General, including a luxury hotel in Greece, to the opening of which many representatives of the Russian elite were invited.
Chaika, in turn, called the publication ordered and said that William Browder and the secret services behind him were the customers of the film that discredited him. Separately, the Prosecutor General stressed that the Anti-Corruption Foundation and Alexei Navalny would be "too tough to make this expensive and full of lies film." Browder denied all allegations.
