MOSCOW (AP) — A documentary based on the findings of an investigation by an anti-corruption activist accusing Russian prosecutors of ties with notorious gangsters is gaining widespread popularity.
Opposition politician Alexei Navalny and his team released an investigation and a documentary last week, detailing what they described as shady deals involving sons of the prosecutor general and other senior prosecutors. Some of them, the investigation alleged, were involved in business deals with the wives of Russian gangsters.
The video of the documentary posted on YouTube had 2.5 million views by Monday.
Dmitry Peskov, spokesman for President Vladimir Putin, said on Monday that the Kremlin is not interested in the allegations made in the documentary because they concern not the prosecutor general but his sons.
