.The team of overdue Russian opponent shape Alexei Navalny on Thursday charged a Russian-Israeli billionaire of getting the violent March attack on Navalny ally Leonid Volkov, naming documentation it secured.Volkov, Navalny's ex-chief of staff as well as past chairman of his Anti-Corruption Base, was attacked with teargas and also a hammer outside his house in Lithuania on March 12. Poland said it apprehended three suspects in connection with the assault, along with Lithuania saying it assumed Russian special services lagged the attack." Leonid Nevzlin got the whipping and also kidnapping of Volkov," Navalny's team pointed out.Nevzlin is the former co-owner of ousted Kremlin critic Mikhail Khodorkovsky's now-defunct oil firm Yukos. He moved abroad to Israel in 2003." But Nevzlin was actually unhappy along with the result and also failed to pay out the guaranteed $250,000 for the job," the group said, adding that it led to a dispute between the entrepreneur and also the alleged coordinator of the attack.Navalny's team mentioned it found yourself with sound and also graphic proof of Nevzlin's involvement coming from a so-called "fixer" named Andrei Matus who was actually reportedly bought to take hold of the hit man's phones..Group Navalny said it had actually arranged a meeting with Matus in Montenegro, where the "fixer" played a recording of his telephone call along with Nevzlin proving the information of the strike on Volkov as well as pair of other strikes on ousted opposition members.Team Navalny mentioned Matus "went away" right after knowing that they will certainly not have the ability to spend him for the information. "A couple of weeks later on our experts observed his materials on the [Kremlin-funded disc jockey] Russia Today internet site," Group Navalny stated.The Moscow Moments could not independently validate any one of the components released on Navalny's site.Crew Navalny claimed it believes "stupid senseless disgust" integrated with "political competitors" might have driven the strike on Volkov..Nevzlin has not replied to the complaints, which jeopardize steering a much deeper rift in Russia's currently ragged opposition.Reacting To Group Navalny's complaints against Nevzlin, Khodorkovsky stated: " Either it holds true, and then Leonid Nevzlin has actually gone mad. Or even it is actually an FSB provocation and a fake on which a considerable amount of money has actually been actually invested. Our experts have found such justifications much more than when, for example, in the Magnitsky instance." For some reason, [Staff Navalny detective] Maria Pevchikh with confidence selects the initial model. For completely easy to understand reasons, I pitch towards the 2nd," he proceeded, calling for the charges to become examined through law enforcement.Group Navalny mentioned it alerted the police department of countries where Nevzlin is actually believed to stay and prepared to entrust its own files." I may certainly not cover my head around this relevant information yet. Khodorkovsky spent 10 years in jail Putin expropriated his multi-billion-dollar business. Given that 2013, Khodorkovsky was actually a prominent voice in exile. (Nevzlin got away to Israel in 2003, when Khodorkovsky's realm was actually under assault from Putin.)," economic expert and also political commentator Konstantin Sonin created on X (previously Twitter)." What I can claim is actually that @navalny's crew has actually possessed an exquisite credibility and reputation in investigative news. With Alexei and then without him, they uncovered lots of essential episodes of [the Putin regimen's] nepotism, their impact systems, their armed forces relationships, and so on," he composed.
