.The team of late Russian opponent figure Alexei Navalny on Thursday implicated a Russian-Israeli billionaire of ordering the intense March attack on Navalny ally Leonid Volkov, naming documentation it secured.Volkov, Navalny's ex-chief of staff and also previous leader of his Anti-Corruption Structure, was actually attacked with tear gas and a hammer outside his house in Lithuania on March 12. Poland said it apprehended 3 suspects in connection with the attack, with Lithuania claiming it believed Russian exclusive solutions lagged the attack." Leonid Nevzlin ordered the pounding and kidnapping of Volkov," Navalny's team pointed out.Nevzlin is the former co-owner of ousted Kremlin critic Mikhail Khodorkovsky's now-defunct oil business Yukos. He departed to Israel in 2003." But Nevzlin was miserable with the end result as well as failed to spend the assured $250,000 for the work," the crew said, adding that it led to an issue between the entrepreneur and the claimed coordinator of the attack.Navalny's team stated it found yourself along with sound as well as visual documentation of Nevzlin's involvement coming from a supposed "fixer" called Andrei Matus that was apparently gotten to appropriate the gunman's phones..Staff Navalny mentioned it had prepared a conference along with Matus in Montenegro, where the "fixer" played an audio of his telephone call along with Nevzlin affirming the details of the assault on Volkov and also 2 various other assaults on ousted adversary participants.Staff Navalny pointed out Matus "vanished" not long after discovering that they will not be able to pay him for the info. "A few weeks later on our experts found his products on the [Kremlin-funded disc jockey] Russia Today website," Group Navalny mentioned.The Moscow Times could not independently confirm any one of the materials published on Navalny's internet site.Group Navalny claimed it thinks "foolish mindless abhorrence" incorporated with "political competition" may have driven the strike on Volkov..Nevzlin has actually certainly not responded to the allegations, which take the chance of driving a much deeper break in Russia's already fragmented opposition.Reacting To Group Navalny's accusations against Nevzlin, Khodorkovsky mentioned: " Either it holds true, and after that Leonid Nevzlin has freaked. Or even it is actually an FSB justification and also a counterfeit on which a ton of money has been actually devoted. Our experts have actually found such provocations more than when, as an example, in the Magnitsky scenario." For one reason or another, [Group Navalny detective] Maria Pevchikh with certainty opts for the first model. For perfectly logical main reasons, I lean towards the second," he continued, asking for the accusations to become looked into by law enforcement.Group Navalny claimed it notified the law enforcement agencies of nations where Nevzlin is thought to reside as well as prepared to hand over its own documents." I may certainly not cover my head around this details however,. Khodorkovsky spent ten years behind bars Putin expropriated his multi-billion-dollar service. Due to the fact that 2013, Khodorkovsky was actually a prominent voice in exile. (Nevzlin took off to Israel in 2003, when Khodorkovsky's empire was under attack coming from Putin.)," financial expert and political analyst Konstantin Sonin wrote on X (in the past Twitter)." What I may claim is actually that @navalny's staff has possessed a flawless credibility in fact-finding journalism. With Alexei and afterwards without him, they found several critical incidents of [the Putin program's] shadiness, their effect systems, their military connections, and so on," he created.
