Fragmentation wars
The Moscow City Court partially satisfied the appeal to the decision of the lower instance on the claim for the protection of the honor and dignity of the billionaire Alisher Usmanov against Alexei Navalny and the Fund for the fight against corruption, Interfax reports . Now the defendants are required to delete only fragments of the film-investigation “He is not a dimon”, not the whole video.
"To change the decision of the Lublin court of Moscow. Upon the claims of Usmanov to satisfy. To oblige Alexei Navalny and FBK to delete fragments of videos. To oblige to publish a refutation within 10 days from the date of the decision for a period of at least three months," the appellate colleague says. In the rest, the decision of the court of first instance was left unchanged.
“My comment regarding the decree of the Moscow City Court: Friends, help with distribution. Only 24 million views,” Navalny wrote .
Navalny is not going to delete the film "He is not Dimon for you" or remove some fragments from him, said politician lawyer Ivan Zhdanov. “Regardless of the court’s decision, the film will not be completely or partially deleted,” Zhdanov said. According to the lawyer, the court decision will be appealed to the Presidium of the Moscow City Court and the Supreme Court.
On April 13, Usmanov filed a lawsuit to protect honor and dignity to Navalny and FBK. The reason he called the mention of himself in the investigation of the FBK of real estate related to Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev. As FBK found out, several funds associated with persons from the prime minister’s entourage received money from the businessman and suburban estates. In particular, the Utsgosproekt Fund company Usmanov USM Holdings transferred a plot in the Odintsovo district of the Moscow Region with an area of more than 4 hectares.
Usmanov himself assured that the transfer of this site to the "social project" was part of the real estate exchange transaction . According to the billionaire, for this land he received from the fund a plot of 12 hectares in the village of Uspenskoye in Rublevka. Navalny, however, insists that the businessman is lying. As the politician explains, the land in the Assumption Usmanov bought from two commercial firms and the acquisition of one and the transfer of the other site has no connection.
On May 31, the judge of the Lublinsky District Court of Moscow Marina Vasina satisfied the lawsuit of Usmanov against Navalny and the FBK. "To recognize the widespread information that is not true, to oblige the defendants to publish a refutation," the court decision said. The court ordered the defendants for 10 days to remove all the "defamatory" Usmanov publications, including the film "He is not Dimon for you." In addition, by decision of the court, a site should be deleted where the investigation on corruption of Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev should be posted, although only one chapter is devoted to Usmanov there.
“The court ordered me to delete the investigation,“ He is not Dimon to you. ”Yes, of course. I am in a hurry and fall. This is completely excluded,” Navalny wrote then.
