“The fact is that this Prigozhin, trying to earn more money, supplied the children with spoiled food. And in Moscow there were mass poisonings in schools and kindergartens. They tried to hide all this, but our employee Lyubov Sobol got down to business. She united groups of parents of affected children and began to sue and conduct an investigation in their interests ... Well, then something happened that could only happen in Putin's court. Despite the fact that we have proven poisoning. Despite the fact that Prigozhin paid compensation in court. He is suing me, Sobol and FBK, claims that he did not poison anyone, and demands an unthinkable amount from us - 88 million rubles, ”Navalny writes.

The politician attached to the post screenshots from the website of the Federal Bailiff Service (FSSP), according to which Navalny, Sobol and the FBK itself have debts of 29 million rubles each.

• FBK lawyer Lyubov Sobol conducted an independent investigation , and, based on its results, declared the Moscow Schoolchild Plant responsible for poor-quality food in children's educational institutions. This enterprise is managed by the Concord company, which, in turn, is led by Evgeny Prigozhin . Parents of preschoolers filed the first class action lawsuit against Concord in February, and on April 25 the court fined the company more than two million rubles.
