The Arbitration Court of Moscow satisfied the lawsuit of the billionaire Oleg Deripaska to Alexey Navalna (founder of the Foundation for the Fight of Corruption – FBK, included with the Ministry of Education in the register of organizations that perform the functions of a foreign agent and recognized by the extremist organization), recognizing them with the information that are not relevant to them. Interfax reports this with reference to a lawyer of a businessman Alexey Melnikova.
As a lawyer told, the court ordered Navalny to remove information about Deripask, and the official refutation in the newspaper “Kommersant”, since his YouTube channel was blocked. In addition, the court recovered from the bulk of one ruble as compensation, as he asked Deripaska. Navalny, who is a sentence of a court in a colony, can fulfill the court decision through its proxies. If he does not fulfill it after entering into force, it will be subjected to a fine of 50 thousand rubles a day for each day of delay.
Deripaska won the court on the suit filed in March 2020 due to the release of the Navalny Live program, which argued that the businessman allegedly receives support for state banks on non-market conditions. The billionaire demanded to publish a refutation and pay him compensation in the amount of one ruble.
