OREANDA-NEWS. Oppositionist Aleksey Navalny decided to sue Dmitry Peskov, press secretary of the Russian President. The reason is the fact that Peskov claimed specialists from the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) are working with Navalny.

“Here is a direct statement from a state official. Therefore, firstly, I am filing a lawsuit against Peskov. And secondly, I demand the publication of evidence and facts indicating “work with CIA specialists.” Show it straight on TV, in prime time. I allow you,” Navalny wrote in his blog.

Earlier, Navalny, who is undergoing rehabilitation in Germany after being discharged from a Berlin clinic, said that Russian President Vladimir Putin was behind his poisoning. Commenting on this, Peskov said: “Probably, it is not the patient who works with the Western special services, but the Western special services work with him. This will be more correct. Indeed, there is such information. I can even say specifically, specialists from the US Central Intelligence Agency are working with him these days.”
