Navalny Accuses Lawmaker of Secretly Owning Real Estate in US

Russian lawyer and prominent opposition activist Alexey Navalny published documents on his blog which appeared to show that Vladimir Pekhtin, the chairman of the ethics committee in Russia’s lower house of parliament, had a share in an expensive Miami flat, which was not included in a declaration of his assets which all deputies file. Pekhtin denied the accusations, saying he owns "practically no" real estate abroad. Navalny filed a request to the General Prosecutor's Office asking to investigate the matter. Also, Navalny last year published documents that showed that Alexander Bastrykin, the head of Russia’s investigative committee, similar to the US FBI, had a flat and a business in Prague until 2009, which Bastrykin later admitted though he said he made no income from it and violated no laws.
