Anna Skorokhod's position
In her commentary, she said that she regarded the searches as pressure on the opposition:
«I have nothing to hide, my activities are in the open. However, the timing and context of these events lead to unambiguous conclusions: I see this as direct pressure on the opposition and an attempt to block my political activity because of my principled position.».
The investigation is ongoing.
