Russian MP Resigns after Navalny's Expose

Deputy Vladimir Pekhtin, until recently the chairman of the State Duma's Ethics Committee, resigned as a deputy amidst a scandal. Pekhting said this is to avoid "casting a shadow" on the ruling United Russia party. Earlier opposition activist Alexey Navalny accused Pekhting of failing to declare more than $2 million in real estate holdings in the U.S. state of Florida. "Now he may move to Florida and live quietly without hearing any complaints," Navalny commented.
