Poland stated it jailed three suspects among the assault, with Lithuania mentioning it suspected Russian exclusive services were behind the assault.” Leonid Nevzlin got the beating and also kidnapping of Volkov,” Navalny’s crew stated.Nevzlin is the past co-owner of ousted Kremlin movie critic Mikhail Khodorkovsky’s now-defunct oil company Yukos. He migrated to Israel in 2003.” But Nevzlin was actually miserable with the outcome and also failed to pay the promised $250,000 for the job,” the crew stated, including that it caused a conflict between the business person and the claimed planner of the attack.Navalny’s group stated it ended up along with sound as well as graphic proof of Nevzlin’s involvement coming from an alleged “fixer” called Andrei Matus that was actually supposedly purchased to appropriate the hitmen’s phones..Team Navalny claimed it had actually prepared a conference along with Matus in Montenegro, where the “fixer” participated in an audio of his phone conversation along with Nevzlin affirming the particulars of the attack on Volkov as well as two other assaults on ousted adversary members.Staff Navalny pointed out Matus “faded away” right after knowing that they will certainly not be able to pay him for the info.
“A few weeks later on our experts observed his components on the [Kremlin-funded journalist] Russia Today website,” Crew Navalny pointed out.The Moscow Times might not individually verify some of the materials published on Navalny’s web site.Team Navalny said it strongly believes “silly mindless disgust” mixed along with “political competition” might have steered the attack on Volkov..Nevzlin has not responded to the accusations, which jeopardize driving a much deeper break in Russia’s already fragmented opponent.Responding to Crew Navalny’s complaints against Nevzlin, Khodorkovsky mentioned: ” Either it is true, and after that Leonid Nevzlin has actually gone mad.
