The lawyer and head of the team "Team 29" Ivan Pavlov, who is accused of disclosing the data of the preliminary investigation, believes that the customer of the criminal case against him may be the FSB investigator Alexander Chaban. Pavlov said this in an interview with the Rain TV channel.
“I have a clear idea that this is an investigator, a specific investigator in a specific case, in the case of Ivan Safronov, initiated this,” said Pavlov.
He explained that he published documents on other cases in which he acted as a defender and who were conducted in the Investigative Department of the FSB, but the department had no complaints. Pavlov said that, for example, in the case of the former top manager of Inter RAO Karina Tsurkan, team 29 published all procedural documents.
The lawyer claims that the FSB officer Chaban persuaded the citizens of the project and their relatives to refuse the services of lawyers. The investigator allegedly said the phrase "I will put this Pavlov."
According to Ivan Pavlov, the initiation of a criminal case could be affected by the fact that he represents the interests of the Corruption Fund (recognized as a foreign agent).
