Answering the relevant question, he said that he did not see the motive for revenge in the actions of law enforcement agencies.

Peskov admitted that there is a legal justification for such actions, noting that the Kremlin does not know what the essence of the claims of law enforcement officers against the journalists of the Project is.

He urged to seek comments from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

“We are not prosecutors, not lawyers, and we cannot comment on the legitimacy of the actions of the security forces.

I repeat once again, you can contact the Ministry of Internal Affairs for comments, ”said Peskov.

Earlier, the lawyer said that law enforcement officers are conducting searches of the editor-in-chief of the Proekt publication Roman Badanin and journalist Maria Zholobova in the framework of the libel case.

According to the lawyer, the victim in the case is businessman Ilya Traber.
