Billionaire Yelena Baturina has asked the Prosecutor General’s Office to open a defamation investigation against opposition leader Boris Nemtsov, RIA-Novosti reported.
Baturina, head of the Inteko construction company, filed the request in connection with the Nemtsov-penned “Luzhkov. Results” brochure, which accused her and her husband, Mayor Yury Luzhkov, of corruption.
Baturina previously sued Nemtsov over the brochure, but a Moscow court in February ordered him to retract only two of five statements mentioned in her lawsuit.
