To the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation 2 Tekhnichesky Lane Moscow 105005 from the representative of Alexei Anatolyevich Navalny, born 04.06.1976 Vyacheslav Ilyich Gimadi 19 Leninskaya Sloboda St., Office 21A Moscow 115280 Tel. 8-916-414-03-38 Email address: gimadi@fbk.info
STATEMENT
On 20 August 2020, at around 6:00 a.m., politician Alexei Anatolyevich Navalny, chairman of the political party *Russia of the Future* and founder of the Anti-Corruption Foundation, departed from the Xander Hotel, located at 24A Krylov St., Tomsk, for Tomsk Airport to return to Moscow from a business trip on S7 Airlines flight No. 2614.
At Tomsk Airport, A.A. Navalny drank one cup of black tea at the Vienna Café, after which he boarded the S7 Airlines flight to Moscow. Before experiencing symptoms of poisoning, A.A. Navalny consumed no other food or drinks.
During the flight, A.A. Navalny experienced acute pain and symptoms of poisoning by an unknown substance. The flight crew then made an emergency landing in Omsk. A.A. Navalny was hospitalized with symptoms of poisoning at Omsk City Clinical Emergency Hospital No. 1, where he was placed on artificial ventilation and fell into a coma. Medical personnel assessed A.A. Navalny’s condition as “serious but stable.”
I believe that A.A. Navalny was deliberately poisoned by unidentified persons as a result of his public and political activities and his expression of political views on corruption and other socially significant issues of a state and legal nature.
The nature and severity of the poisoning, as well as its consequences for A.A. Navalny’s health, indicate that the unidentified persons intended to cause his death in order to put an end to his public and political activities.
Based on the above, and pursuant to Article 141 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation,
I REQUEST:
That a criminal case be initiated on the grounds of offenses provided for by Part 3 of Article 30, Part 1 of Article 105, and Article 277 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
I am aware of the provisions of Article 306 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
Attachment: copy of the representative’s power of attorney.
Representative of A.A. Navalny V.I. Gimadi
