The Novosibirsk Regional Court overturned the decision of the Leninsky District Court of Novosibirsk to recognize as legal the inaction of the West Siberian Transport Investigative Committee during the hospitalization of Alexei Navalny in Omsk. The complaint was returned to the court of first instance for a new consideration, TASS reports .

Lawyers of the Anti-Corruption Foundation Recognized as a “foreign agent” in Russia. We indicate this at the request of the authorities. Organizations and individuals recognized as “foreign agents” are challenging this decision in court. We do not agree with this decision and express our support for it. (FBK) filed an application with the Investigative Committee demanding that a case be opened under articles of attempted murder (Articles 30 and 105 of the Criminal Code) and an attempt on the life of a public figure (Article 277 of the Criminal Code). However , the West Siberian Department of the department did not identify any signs of a crime in the poisoning of Alexei Navalny.

The FSB also refused to open a case over Navalny’s poisoning. FBK lawyers filed a complaint with the Lefortovo Court in Moscow about the department’s inaction.

Alexei Navalny fell into a coma during a flight from Tomsk to Moscow on August 20. The pilots urgently landed in Omsk, from where two days later he was transported to the Charite clinic in Berlin at the invitation of Chancellor Angela Merkel. German intelligence agencies and the OPCW say the politician was poisoned with a variant of the Novichok nerve agent. Moscow denies accusations of involvement in the incident and calls for dialogue on this situation.

The court will re-examine the issue of the inaction of the Investigative Committee after the poisoning of Navalny
