Moscow has reason to believe that the situation with Alexei Navalny ( founder of the Anti-Corruption Fund, included by the Ministry of Justice in the register of organizations performing the functions of a foreign agent ) is a staging by the West, said Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. The fact that the Russian side suspected the staging of this case, he said at the talks with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Sweden and the OSCE chairman, Ann Linde, RIA Novosti reports.
“Based on the results of these investigations, no information was provided to us that would actually show the validity of the accusations against the Russian leadership. If you accuse, then prove guilt. And if you say: “I won’t tell you anything because it’s secret” or because the patient himself doesn’t allow it, then we have every reason to believe that this is a staging, ”Lavrov said.
