Poland stated it jailed three suspects among the attack, along with Lithuania mentioning it felt Russian special services lagged the assault." Leonid Nevzlin purchased the pounding as well as kidnapping of Volkov," Navalny's crew mentioned.Nevzlin is the past co-owner of banished Kremlin doubter Mikhail Khodorkovsky's now-defunct oil firm Yukos. He departed to Israel in 2003." Yet Nevzlin was actually miserable along with the end result and failed to pay for the promised $250,000 for the work," the group pointed out, incorporating that it caused a disagreement in between the business person as well as the supposed organizer of the spell.Navalny's crew said it wound up along with sound and visual documentation of Nevzlin's involvement coming from a so-called "fixer" named Andrei Matus who was reportedly gotten to appropriate the hit man's phones..Group Navalny said it had organized a meeting along with Matus in Montenegro, where the "fixer" played a recording of his phone conversation along with Nevzlin proving the details of the assault on Volkov and two other assaults on exiled opponent participants.Crew Navalny mentioned Matus "vanished" not long after finding out that they would not be able to pay him for the information.

I may certainly not cover my scalp around this info however,. Khodorkovsky invested 10 years in jail Putin expropriated his multi-billion-dollar service.
