Employees of the Corruption Foundation* were massively summoned for interrogations to the Investigative Committee in the Fraud case against Alexei Navalny, the director of the Foundation Ivan Zhdanov said in his Telegram channel .
“Throughout Moscow, police officers urgently urgently left for all FBK*employees, even those who have not worked in the FBK*for a long time to urgently call them in the UK,” Zhdanov writes. According to him, at night no one opened the police, so they tried to stick the summons into the door slots or to somehow attach them to the entrance doors. One of the police officers said that it is planned to call about 70 employees for interrogation.
“Well, for 2 years, employees tried to prove in the framework of the FBK*case, that the donates are the legalization of the stolen, for this they were brought to the fund, and now they will try to prove that the Donaters in the funds were what they had to steal. It is clear that all this was aimed against Navalny. Thank you very much to the lawyers who volunteered to help us with these trips for interrogation,” said Zhdanov.
In a conversation with “open media” he said that about 20 current and former FBK employees*received the summons. Zhdanov also published a photograph of one of the summons, which states that for an interrogation in the UK as a witness, it is necessary to appear on May 19.

At the end of December 2020, the SK opened a criminal case against Navalny's fraud on a particularly large scale . According to investigators, the politician raised 588 million rubles of donations from his supporters for the FBK* and a number of other organizations and, “acting together with other persons,” spent more than 356 million of them for personal goals, including paying for purchases and rest abroad.
Meanwhile, BBC journalists have found that since 2015, the organizations received at least 650.5 million rubles in the FBK*, while the total expenses of the same organizations amounted to more than 600 million rubles .
This means that the money was spent in a targeted way. Navalny, commenting on the criminal case, noticed that he did not receive a salary in his funds. In February of this year, politician lawyer Olga Mikhailova stated that the investigation in the case of alleged fraud is not actually underway .
