Moscow Region Khimki City Court granted the claim of Mikhail Kiyko, Director General of the United Grain Company, and found the publication in "The Moscow Post", entitled "The General Millionaire tries to get to Zolotov's deputy," untrue.

Almost all experts in the field of PR and Internet are confident that the fight against negative PR, which is conducted against politicians or businessmen through so-called "drain tanks" in the network, is very difficult. The problem is that, unlike the media community, resources that help to drain negatives and revelations belong to the "gray" Internet zone: they are usually registered on the frontmen or companies, and are not official media. This is what makes it possible for an attacker to anonymously post deliberately false and insulting information against well-known businessmen, politicians, statesmen.

"Such registered publications have nothing common with freedom of speech, they discredit the profession of a journalist, they pursue only mercantile and nterests aimed to cause reputational harm," said Artem Grishin, advocate of the Law Office "Alliance Legal", representing Mr. Kiyko's interests, the General Director of JSC "OZK" ("United Grain Company") .

The administrator of the Internet resource actually recognized the claim. According to Mikhail Kiyko's lawyer, this confirms the ordered character of a whole series of deliberately false publications regarding the head of the state corporation.

This was not the first trial, which culminated in satisfying the claims of Mr. Kiyko and the corporation he leaded. In December 2017, the Moscow Arbitration Court found the publication untrue, damaging the honor, dignity and business reputation Mr. Kiyko's and JSC "United Grain Company" reputation, posted on the Internet resource Russian Criminal under the title "Caspian cargo of Magomedovs". Then, in July this year, the Arbitration Court of Moscow satisfied the lawsuit against several Internet publications (Glavk.info, Kompromat1) that spread a knowingly false and undermining reputation of the plaintiffs publication entitled "The Corruptor in the shoulder straps of Mikhail Kiyko helps the oligarch Magomedov get rich on smuggling. "

"In the production of arbitration courts, there are several other similar cases to protect Mr. Kiyko's honor, dignity and business reputation including the corporation he leads," said Artem Grishin. He assures: not a single defamatory publication of his client will remain unchallenged in court.
