Navalny filed a lawsuit against Peskov

Politician Alexei Navalny filed a lawsuit for the protection of honor and dignity against the press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov, writes Open Media.

Navalny promised to file this lawsuit immediately after his October interview with Spiegel, in which he accused President Putin personally of being involved in his poisoning. Peskov, in response, said that Navalny was given instructions by "CIA specialists", and that he himself was, if not their agent, then a puppet. “I demand to publish evidence and facts pointing to “work with CIA specialists.” Show it directly on TV, in prime time, ”the politician wrote then.

OM learned that Navalny's lawsuit against Peskov was registered on November 16 by the Presnensky Court. Whether it will be accepted into production will become clear on November 23rd.

The politician demands that Peskov’s statement be recognized as untrue: “In general, given that the CIA specialists work with the patient, everything he voices is what this organization puts into his mouth” and “It is better if this organization conducts a dialogue not with us through him, but directly with their Russian counterparts — the SVR, the GRU and other special services.” The plaintiff requests that the refutation be published on the website kremlin.ru.

• This is far from the first lawsuit filed by the oppositionist against the Russian authorities. Exactly a year ago, FBK Navalny filed a lawsuit against Putin personally about the president's violation of constitutional obligations (the guarantor of rights and freedoms) in connection with the case of money laundering through the FBK. The administrative claim had no real prospects and was rejected by the Tverskoy Court.
