Nemtsov also alleged that his bank perhaps was targeted because of his friendship and support of former Prime Minister Mikhail Kasyanov, who had stated his intention to run for president in 2008.
Nemtsov hävdade också att hans bank kunde ha blivit måltavla på grund av hans vänskap med och stöd för förre premiärministern Michail Kasianov, som hade uttalat sin avsikt att ställa upp i presidentvalet 2008.
