FBK claims that the leader of United Russia in Moscow illegally owns business. He called Navalny a loser in response

The Foundation for the fight against corruption of Alexei Navalny claims that the head of United Russia in Moscow, the deputy chairman of the Moscow City Duma Andrei Metelsky, through the dummy person, owns the Alpin company - the dealer of Yamaha motorcycles. According to the FBK, the leader of the Moscow United Russia bought a company in 2015. Officially, Alpin LLC is registered in the name of a friend and adviser to Metelsky Peter Ivanovsky.

The fact that Metelsky owns the company, FBK learned from the testimony of the employees of the motor center, who went through the criminal case with respect to the former director of the Alpin company. Employees in the court called Metelsky the "owner of the company" and the "new leader."

The founder of the FBK Alexei Navalny said that he would apply to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the FSB, the UK, the prosecutor's office and “United Russia”, since civil servants are forbidden to engage in business.

Andrei Metelsky told Ekhu Moscow that he did not own Alpin. According to the deputy, the motor center belongs to Peter Ivanovsky. “I'm even sideways there at all,” he said. Speaking about the investigation of the FBK, Metelsky said that he would defend his honor and dignity in court.

Metelsky noted that he was "tired of all these investigations of Navalny." “Who is Navalny? Jonah. An unsuccessful politician and nothing more, ”he said. Metelsky also called the founder of the FBK "a political killer of too low a rustle."

The leader of the Moscow United Russia connected the “video” of the FBK about the business that he allegedly owns, with the Navalny’s project “ smart voting ”, directed against the candidates from the authorities in the elections. In his opinion, Navalny wants "that" United Russia "would not be as a political party."

On July 1, Alexei Navalny said that Andrei Metelsky and his family own real estate with a total value of 5.7 billion rubles. Among the assets in the investigation, four hotels in Austria were mentioned. Metelsky associated these statements with the elections to the Moscow City Duma. He promised that he would file a lawsuit against the protection of honor and dignity.
