"AntiMaidan" asked the Investigative Committee to check Navalny because of the publication about Lesin
The Anti-Maidan movement turned to the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation with a request to check the actions of Alexei Navalny due to the publication of documents on the departure of Mikhail Lesin from the United States 40 days after his death. The statement is posted on the website of the movement.
The movement believes that Navalny's actions fall under Article 13.11 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation "Violation of the procedure established by law for the collection, storage, use or dissemination of information about citizens (personal data)".
In addition, Anti-Maidan asks the US authorities to "give a legal assessment" of the actions of Navalny and employees of the Anti-Corruption Foundation, since it is forbidden to search for information about other people in the base of the American border service.
The statement of the movement states that the appeal to the UK is made "on behalf of ... co-chairman Dmitry Sablin."
The blogger did not hide the fact that he violated the law by obtaining this data […]. However, according to him, "the public interest is more important than a petty administrative ban." Therefore, having deliberately decided to break the law, he entered Lesin's data on the site. It remains a mystery how the head of the Anti-Corruption Foundation had a copy of the ex-minister's passport.
- On March 12, Alexei Navalny published a screenshot from the US Customs and Border Protection database, according to which Mikhail Lesin, who died on November 5, 2015 in Washington, left the United States on December 15 . He also published a scan of the passport, which he said belonged to Mikhail Lesin. The next day, the American department explained that the record of Lesin's departure from the United States was made in order to close his visa.
- Senator Dmitry Sablin is one of the founders of the Anti-Maidan movement. In January 2016, he sued Alexei Navalny for 408 thousand rubles due to publications about the alleged illegal origin of his money.
