Russian court rejects libel suit from prosecutor in Magnitsky case

Interfax news agency, Moscow.

Moscow, 9 August. Moscow’s Presnenskiy court will not consider a suit filed by prosecutor Pavel Karpov. Karpov wanted rights activists to retract information about his involvement in the embezzlement of government funds during investigations into the case of Hermitage Capital lawyer Sergey Magnitskiy, who died in pre-trial detention.

“The court has ruled to reject this application,” the Interfax news agency was told by Moscow’s Presnenskiy court on Tuesday [9 August]. No reasons were given for this decision.

In their report on “the Magnitskiy case”, activists of the presidential council on human rights Lyudmila Alekseyeva, Kirill Kabanov and Tamara Morshchakova accused Karpov of embezzling government funds in the course of the investigation.

In July, Karpov filed a suit against the rights activists in the Presnenskiy court. He said that he had nothing to do with the investigation into the embezzlement of funds and Magnitskiy never accused him of illegally re-registering legal entities and embezzling funds from the Russian budget, and did not make any applications to bring about any sort of accountabilities for him.

Karpov was seeking a retraction of the disseminated information as well as damages of R1 [approximately 3 cents at the current exchange rate].
