Corrupt Government Officials Step Up Pressure on Russian-Armenian Entrepreneur: Dobrovinsky

Pressure is being exerted on the largest shareholder of Moscow’s KiN wine and brandy factory, Armen Eganyan, said Eganyan’s attorney Alexander Dobrovinsky. According to him, this is due to the appeal they presented to the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE, also known as the US Helsinki Commission), which states that it’s possible that corrupt law enforcement officers are participating in the “attack” on the plant. 

“After we sent an open letter to the Helsinki Commission, the pressure increased,” said the attorney. Dobrovinsky said employees of various departments at the Interior Ministry occasionally “visit” the factory and “attempt to paralyze the work of the plant by all means.”

“We’re still going to resist. Armen [Eganyan] won’t hand over his positions,” said Dobrovinsky, reports Echo Moscow.
