The apartment is in a building at 12 Rochdelskaya Street, near the Russian government's offices, and was registered to Irina Kezina, Pamfilova's granddaughter, according to the Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK).
FBK says the building was constructed in the 2000s for officials. Among its residents, the foundation names Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, Sberbank head German Gref, former Prosecutor General Yuri Chaika, Constitutional Court Chairman Valery Zorkin and former Russian Railways chief Vladimir Yakunin. The building has 42 apartments and is under round-the-clock surveillance by the Federal Guard Service (FSO).
Citing a property registry extract it published, FBK says the transaction was completed on June 4, after the last presidential election. Kezina's apartment has a 70-square-meter living room, Navalny's team notes.
FBK values the property at 200 million rubles. According to the investigators, Pamfilova received the housing free of charge. The foundation links the transfer to the election results, saying in its wording that the apartment was granted "for the nullification, for 87 percent for Putin, for a Duma controlled by him, for five years of war."
Pamfilova has headed the Central Election Commission since 2016. Before that she served as human rights commissioner, and from 2002 to 2010 chaired the Commission on Human Rights and the Presidential Council for Promoting the Development of Civil Society Institutions and Human Rights. From 1994 to 1999 she was a State Duma deputy.
Pamfilova is under sanctions imposed by the United States, the European Union, Britain, Switzerland and other countries.
