Gordon describes search at Lerchek’s home: “crusade against bloggers” 19:59

Lawyer Ekaterina Gordon published a joint video on Instagram (the owner of the Meta company is known as an extremist in Russia and is banned) with defender Alla Salikhova and women’s blogger Lerchek, in which they assure that they will fight for their rights.

On October 2, the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs opened a criminal case against Valeria and Artem Chekalin. The blogger is a key figure in a new criminal case. He is suspected of illegally transferring payments for fitness marathons to the BI FIT company through a bank in Dubai. A search was carried out at the home of his ex-wife, blogger Lerchek.

“There is a feeling that there is a group of people who want to take it back [у Лерчек] lastly, to scare and “reveal”. Why raids and searches? Why didn’t they let the lawyer in? Who is behind this and how much is possible, considering that Valeria gave 900 million rubles to the Federal Tax Service and remained in the country to ensure an honest living for her children? – Gordon was angry.

The lawyer called the search of Chekalina’s house strange, since the blogger was in Moscow and was not hiding from law enforcement agencies. Gordon emphasized that law enforcement officers frightened Lerchek’s mother, who was home at the time. The woman was not allowed to go anywhere and the defense attorney said they were not allowing a lawyer to see her. Ekaterina Gordon likened the new lawsuit against the Chekalins to “a crusade against bloggers.”

“It is completely unclear why he was not invited to the survey. It’s not hiding. “Everything else looks like oppression,” he said.
