Main Investigations Directorate of the Russia’s Investigative Committee has severed from the main criminal case over embezzlement of Kirovles property, where Aleksey Navalny and Pyotr Ofitserov are accused, files on stealing in 2007 by the company Allekt headed by Navalny funds belonging to the political party Union of Right Forces.

Investigators have found that in April 2007 the political party Union of Right Forces and the company Allekt signed an agreement on advertising services. Under the agreement, the Union of Right Forces transferred to the settlement account of Allekt a total of about 100 million rubles. In its turn the company Allekt headed by Navalny transferred the money to the accounts of firms most of which had signs of sham companies or phony companies. Investigators have not yet received any documents confirming execution of the agreement.

Today Main Investigations Directorate of the Russia’s Investigative Committee has launched criminal proceedings over signs of a crime under part 4 of article 159 of the RF Criminal Code (swindling).

Necessary investigating operations are underway to establish all circumstances of the crime. Senior officials of Allekt, including Aleksey Navalny and other persons are being checked on involvement into the crime.
