MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 11th December, 2018) Kremlin is not aware about the lawsuit totaling 1 million rubles ($15,000) filed by Director of the Russian National Guard (Rosgvardia) Viktor Zolotov against Russian opposition figure Alexey Navalny over investigations of Navalny's Anti-Corruption Foundation, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday.

"There will be no comments. I even do not know about that.

This question, probably, should be addressed to Rosgvardia," Peskov told reporters when asked to comment on the issue of the lawsuit.

Earlier in the day, Zolotov's lawyer Shota Gorgadze told Sputnik that Rosgvardia chief had filed the lawsuit against Navalny totaling $15,000 to protect his honor, dignity and reputation.

The lawyer added that the purpose of the lawsuit is not just to get money, but to hold Navalny accountable, while the sum indicated in the lawsuit will be sent to support an orphanage.
