Fetisov, the hero of the "perfect case for removing an official from office", has finally pulled himself together and spoken about his offshore assets.
Well, what can you say — the lies are becoming ever more elaborate and exotic. Where before there were simply "dishonest partners,"
now we are being told about some hellish inventors and patent holders. Supposedly, one of these inventors has been dishonestly registering his own property under Fetisov's name for the past four years.
I would also like to draw special attention to the lies surrounding our previous complaint against the senator — about the 1,051-square-meter apartment. Although the shady Federation Council commission (the upper house of Russia's parliament) refused to record the violation, in his next annual disclosure Fetisov effectively admitted that we were right by listing an apartment with a total area of 1,051 square meters, rather than 289.2 sq. m and 382.4 sq. m, as he had done before.
Most importantly, this is what I want to say — and what we have written in a new letter to the Federation Council: the whole story about the inventor-partners is a lie. We can see that right now this patriotic United Russia politician is re-registering shares in foreign companies... in the name of his own father, Alexander Fetisov.
On March 27, 2015, a note appeared in the register: a notice had been filed about a change in the shareholder structure, with Fetisov's stake being transferred to his father. The notice retroactively states that Fetisov transferred the shares to Alexander Fetisov on April 28, 2014.
Here is the text of our new appeal to the Federation Council, in which we debunk this latest lie and point out that Fetisov regularly misleads the relevant Senate commission. We also demand to be invited to the review of the complaint.
Once again, we call on Senator Fetisov to stop stringing the whole country along and stop lying in public, and instead leave public service for business — or wherever else he wants to go — where he can freely own whatever offshore companies he likes.
