On September 8 Public Prosecutor of the Moscow Region opened
a criminal case against head of the Klin district Alexander
Postrigan. However, representatives of the Public Prosecutor’s
Office refused to give any details referring to the confidentiality
of the investigation.
However, a source told YABLOKO that Postrigan is accused
of fraud with real estate. The source also mentioned that
as head of the district Postrigan first turned into municipal
property and then privatized several objects of the city connected
with the military complex. That is why the case is stamped
as confidential. It also turned out that Postrigan’s wife
heading the local Registration Chamber helped him to privities
these entities.
YABLOKO has organised several pickets in Klin demanding resignation
of Alexander Postrigan. And incidentally YABLOKO’s activists
picketing by the administration building were the first to
see the officers from the Public Prosecutor’s Office who arrived
to conduct an investigation.
In August the Territorial Electoral Commission of the Klin
District and later the Regional Electoral Commission refused
to register YABLOKO’s list of candidates under a hokey pretext.
The Central Electoral Commission is currently dealing with
YABLOKO’s complaint.
At a recent press-conference (September 3) Sergei Mitrokhin
voiced his intention to find justice despite Postrigan’s arbitrary
rule. Mitrokhin also informed journalists that a mass-scale
meeting demanding resignation of Postrigan should take place
in Klin on September 13.
