A court in Ufa recovered another 287 thousand rubles from Navalny's supporters to compensate for police work

The Kirovsky District Court of Ufa recovered from Navalny's supporters Olga Komleva, Liliya Chanysheva and Ilgam Yanberdin 287 thousand rubles in two claims from the Center for Economic and Service Support of the Republican Ministry of Internal Affairs, which demanded compensation for the costs of police work during rallies in support of Navalny on January 23 and 31, 2021 . Komleva writes about this on Facebook.

Both decisions were made by judge Liliya Abdrakhmanova. In one claim, she decided to recover 165 thousand rubles from Komleva, in another - 122 thousand in total from Komleva, Chanysheva and Yanberdin.

As Olga Komleva reports, Liliya Chanysheva asked at the meeting what functions were performed by the Toyota Land Cruiser and Toyota Camry mentioned in the lawsuit. A spokeswoman for the Ministry of Internal Affairs said that they were “giving employees a lift.” “Then why were bonuses worth 80 or 88 million rubles paid for two days of rallies to police officers, if you claim that you do not have money, 295 thousand , to pay overtime?” - Komleva objected to this. She received no answer.

The total amount of funds recovered from Olga Komleva on claims of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Russian National Guard reached, according to her calculations, 4,480,905 rubles.

“I’m not writing all this to make you upset. I ask you not to worry about me, but to know that this is happening and remember it,” Komleva concluded and added that the arrested Liliya Chanysheva says hello to everyone and looks cheerful.

On December 22, the Supreme Court of Bashkortostan upheld the decision to collect 287 thousand rubles from Ufa activists, Olga Komleva reported to RusNews.
