During an online press conference of the Qazaq Association of Minority Shareholders (QAMS) in a chat room open to all participants, financial analyst A. Chebotarev, when he saw the name of the journalist of Delovoy Kazakhstan Irina Ledovskikh on the list of participants, first questioned her right to represent the media, and then accused her of falsifying some documents.
