Dmitry Gudkov's home was searched

The police came to the home of politician Dmitry Gudkov with a search warrant. This was reported on Twitter by his father, former State Duma deputy Gennady Gudkov.

Gudkov's press secretary Dmitry Obukhov told Meduza that about ten police officers were conducting the search. "Dmitry currently has two protocols pending against him under [article on violating the rules for holding rallies] 20.2 [of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation]. Apparently, the new search is connected with the [uncoordinated] action on the 27th," Obukhov said.

There is no contact with Gudkov himself yet, but a lawyer is already on his way to see him.

• Dmitry Gudkov was among the candidates for the Moscow City Duma who were refused registration for the elections, having found a high percentage of defective signatures in the signatures they had collected. On July 24, the Moscow City Electoral Commission working group recommended rejecting his appeal.
• The Investigative Committee opened a criminal case under the article on obstructing the activities of election commissions due to uncoordinated rallies in support of unregistered candidates. Gudkov took part in some of them.
