.The group of late Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny on Thursday implicated a Russian-Israeli billionaire of ordering the terrible March assault on Navalny ally Leonid Volkov, citing documentation it secured.Volkov, Navalny's ex-chief of workers and past leader of his Anti-Corruption Structure, was actually attacked with tear gas as well as a hammer outside his home in Lithuania on March 12. Poland claimed it apprehended three suspects in connection with the assault, with Lithuania claiming it reckoned Russian exclusive services lagged the strike." Leonid Nevzlin bought the whipping and kidnapping of Volkov," Navalny's staff mentioned.Nevzlin is the past co-owner of banished Kremlin doubter Mikhail Khodorkovsky's now-defunct oil business Yukos. He emigrated to Israel in 2003." However Nevzlin was miserable along with the result and also didn't pay the assured $250,000 for the work," the crew stated, incorporating that it brought about an issue in between the entrepreneur as well as the alleged coordinator of the attack.Navalny's staff said it ended up along with sound and visual documentation of Nevzlin's participation coming from an alleged "fixer" named Andrei Matus who was apparently gotten to appropriate the hitmen's phones..Crew Navalny claimed it had actually arranged a meeting with Matus in Montenegro, where the "fixer" played a recording of his telephone call with Nevzlin substantiating the details of the strike on Volkov as well as 2 other assaults on ousted adversary participants.Team Navalny claimed Matus "went away" soon after knowing that they would certainly not have the capacity to pay him for the information. "A few full weeks later our company found his components on the [Kremlin-funded disc jockey] Russia Today site," Staff Navalny stated.The Moscow Moments might not separately verify any of the components published on Navalny's site.Group Navalny stated it thinks "stupid senseless hatred" combined along with "political competition" may possess driven the strike on Volkov..Nevzlin has actually not responded to the allegations, which jeopardize steering a deeper rift in Russia's actually ragged opposition.Replying To Crew Navalny's accusations against Nevzlin, Khodorkovsky pointed out: " Either it holds true, and after that Leonid Nevzlin has gone mad. Or it is actually an FSB justification as well as a fake on which a ton of funds has actually been actually devoted. We have observed such provocations greater than as soon as, for example, in the Magnitsky situation." For some reason, [Crew Navalny detective] Maria Pevchikh with certainty picks the very first model. For wonderfully understandable explanations, I bend in the direction of the second," he proceeded, calling for the claims to be checked out by law enforcement.Crew Navalny mentioned it alerted the police of countries where Nevzlin is actually believed to live and also was ready to surrender its reports." I can not wrap my scalp around this information however,. Khodorkovsky devoted 10 years in jail Putin expropriated his multi-billion-dollar company. Due to the fact that 2013, Khodorkovsky was actually a prominent voice in exile. (Nevzlin took off to Israel in 2003, when Khodorkovsky's realm was actually under attack from Putin.)," economic expert and also political analyst Konstantin Sonin created on X (in the past Twitter)." What I can claim is that @navalny's group has actually possessed an impressive credibility in fact-finding news. With Alexei and afterwards without him, they revealed a lot of crucial episodes of [the Putin regime's] shadiness, their influence systems, their armed forces relationships, etc," he wrote.
