Russian Municipality Drops Plans to Buy Luxury Cars after Navalny's Expose

The administration of the Noginsk District of the Moscow Region dropped its plans to spend some $700,000 for four Lexus LX 570 cars after the intervention of Moscow Region acting Governor Andrey Vorobiev. Public attention to the questionable contract was attracted by prominent anti-corruption activist and opposition leader Alexey Navalny. In his blog Navalny pointed out that the deficit of the municipal budget of the Noginsk district was some $6 mln in 2012.
