MUNICH — Inteko chief Yelena Baturina will continue working in Russia and plans to sue media outlets that disseminate false information, Inteko spokesman Gennady Terebkov said at an exhibition in Munich on Monday.
“Inteko will continue implementing its projects in Moscow and the Russian regions as usual,” he said.
He also dismissed allegations that Baturina is planning to leave Russia. “Baturina does not have any foreign residency permits,” Terebkov said.
Nor did he confirm the claims that Baturina is moving her assets abroad. “A French tabloid which published this information has quietly removed the article’s highlights from its web site,” Terebkov said.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
