Belykh case not related to Navalny - Investigative Committee official

MOSCOW. June 27 (Interfax) - The prosecution of Kyiv regional Governor Nikita Belykh is not related to opposition activist Alexei Navalny, Investigative Committee spokesman Vladimir Markin said.

"Every person bears responsibility for himself. What does it have to do with Navalny? Nikita Belykh is an independent person, he made independent decisions, not under the influence of any of his colleagues by party or ideology," Markin said on Vesti FM (VGTRK) radio on Monday.

"Therefore, Navalny is Navalny and Belykh is Belykh, etc.," he said.
