Russian Court Orders Navalny to Apologize for Government Corruption Claims

</p> <p>Russian politician Alexei Navalny has been <a target="_blank" href="https://republic.ru/posts/83456">ordered to delete</a> a viral video accusing Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev of corruption.</p> <p>Moscow’s Lublinsky court ruled on Wednesday that the clip damaged the reputation of Russian oligarch Alisher Usmanov. In the video, Navalny accuses the Uzbek-born billionaire of “gifting” a multi-million dollar mansion to a non-profit organization that channeled illicit money directly to Medvedev.</p><div class="tzpkm662e12b66e37e" > <div id="yandex_rtb_R-A-749142-1"></div> <script type="text/javascript"> (function(w, d, n, s, t) { w[n] = w[n] || []; w[n].push(function() { Ya.Context.AdvManager.render({ blockId: "R-A-749142-1", renderTo: "yandex_rtb_R-A-749142-1", async: true }); }); t = d.getElementsByTagName("script")[0]; s = d.createElement("script"); s.type = "text/javascript"; s.src = "//an.yandex.ru/system/context.js"; s.async = true; t.parentNode.insertBefore(s, t); })(this, this.document, "yandexContextAsyncCallbacks"); </script></div><style type="text/css"> @media screen and (min-width: 1201px) { .tzpkm662e12b66e37e { display: block; } } @media screen and (min-width: 993px) and (max-width: 1200px) { .tzpkm662e12b66e37e { display: block; } } @media screen and (min-width: 769px) and (max-width: 992px) { .tzpkm662e12b66e37e { display: block; } } @media screen and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 768px) { .tzpkm662e12b66e37e { display: block; } } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { .tzpkm662e12b66e37e { display: block; } } </style> <p>Navalny’s spokesperson, Kira Yarmysh, said Navalny’s Anti-Corruption Fund (ACF) had been asked to remove the website which hosted the original clip in its entirety, despite Usmanov’s name being mentioned in only one section of the report.
