The Moscow City Court has received materials from a new criminal case against opposition leader Alexei Navalny. According to RBC, the case card is published on the portal of the capital’s courts of general jurisdiction.
The case file lists six articles:
on the organization of an extremist community;
on the rehabilitation of Nazism;
on the creation of an NPO that infringes on the rights of citizens;
on the financing of extremism;
about public calls for extremism;
on the involvement of minors in the commission of dangerous acts.
In addition, the card contains articles that are imputed to the former technical director of the Navalny channel, Daniel Kholodny. He is in custody on charges of participating in and financing extremist activities.
Andrey Suvorov has been appointed judge. He considered high-profile espionage cases against the top manager of Inter RAO, Karina Turcan, and former US Marine Paul Whelan (sentenced to 15 and 16 years in prison, respectively).
Navalny has been in the colony since February 2021. Then the court, at the request of the Federal Penitentiary Service, replaced his suspended sentence in the Yves Rocher case with a real one. Initially, the oppositionist was serving his sentence in a general regime colony in Pokrov and was to be released in the summer of 2023. But in June 2022, the verdict on the fraud case came into force, in which the oppositionist received nine years in a strict regime. After that, he was transferred to a strict regime colony in the village of Melehovo, Vladimir Region.
