Evgeny Chichvarkin withdrew his signature from the letter for the lifting of sanctions against Alfa Group shareholder German Khan

Businessman Yevgeny Chichvarkin withdrew his signature from a letter to the European Commission for lifting sanctions against Alfa Group shareholder German Khan. this He stated on the air of Khodorkovsky Live.

“It is clear that Herman Khan has returned and ... I will write or tell you sometime about why. And this is very ugly from the point of view of the British authorities - what happened to him. And so I withdraw my signature under his last name, but not under Aven and Fridman, ”said Chichvarkin (quoted from Meduza ).

On March 16, German Khan attended a meeting of businessmen with Russian President Vladimir Putin, which was held as part of the congress of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (RSPP). Other shareholders of Alfa Group, who appeared in the letter of the opposition - Mikhail Fridman and Petr Aven - are abroad.

On March 8, the former editor-in-chief of Ekho Moskvy, Alexei Venediktov, published a letter to the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and the head of EU diplomacy, Josep Borrell, with a request to lift sanctions against the leadership of Alfa Group. It, among other things, was signed by Leonid Volkov.

After that, Volkov announced that he would take "a pause in his public socio-political activities as chairman of the board of the ACF International fund." According to him, with this letter he hoped to create a split in the Russian elites, but he was mistaken. He apologized to his colleagues, supporters and opposition politician Alexei Navalny.

Today Navalny said that FBK will be headed by Maria Pevchikh.
