In Krasnodar, the arrest was lifted from the accounts of the mother of the ex-coordinator of Open Russia

In Krasnodar, the arrest was lifted from the funds of Zoya Shipilova, the mother of the former coordinator of Open Russia in the city, Yana Antonova. This was told to Novaya Gazeta by the coordinator of the Human Rights Postcard Alexei Pryanishnikov.

He clarified that a petition to remove the arrest from the accounts addressed to the investigator Rustam Gabdulin, who is in charge of the money laundering case of the Anti-Corruption Foundation of politician Alexei Navalny, was filed at the end of May this year. Testing began in June.

After that, Antonova and her family members were summoned to the local Department of Economic Security and Anti-Corruption, which, on behalf of the Investigative Committee, questioned them. The purpose of the survey was to confirm that the money in Shipilova's accounts is not connected with the FBK and Navalny's headquarters. The family provided all the necessary documents.

Last week, one of the investigators involved in extending the arrest of accounts called, Pryanishnikov said. He said that with regard to Shipilova's accounts, it was decided not to come out with another extension.

The coordinator of the Human Rights Postcards added that in theory it is possible to seek compensation for the seizure of funds, it all depends on the desire of Shipilova, but the prospects are rather weak: “Formally, everything is legal. This arrest was not canceled by the court, despite the fact that we repeatedly filed appeals repeatedly, and now the next one is under consideration.”

Shipilova's accounts, which contained several million rubles she had accumulated over many years, were blocked last year in a money laundering case brought against politician Alexei Navalny's Anti-Corruption Foundation. Antonova emphasized that she had nothing to do with him.

The case of laundering a billion rubles against FBK was initiated in August last year, later the amount was reduced to 75 million rubles. According to investigators, the organization received a "large amount of money" in rubles and foreign currency. According to Navalny's supporter Leonid Volkov, these were donations to the fund and the politician's presidential campaign. After that, searches were carried out in the office of the fund and at the homes of its employees, and many of their accounts were blocked.
