Russian media mogul Alexander Lebedev was charged in September 2012 with hooliganism in Russia after he punched a fellow guest during a TV debate in 2011. Mr Lebedev said he believed the charges had been lobbied for by law enforcement officials scrambling to respond to articles in a Russian newspaper he owns about bureaucratic embezzlement. Novaya Gazeta is a hard-hitting investigative newspaper that frequently takes aim at the authorities. |
