The Russian Prosecutor’s Office claimed last week a sentence of thirteen years in prison, which carries a fine of 1.2 million rubles (9,500 euros at current exchange rates).
A Russian court declared on Tuesday the opponent Alexei Navalni blame for fraudcharges for which the Prosecutor’s Office has demanded a sentence of thirteen years in prison against him, which would extend the time he will have to spend behind bars.
“Navalni committed fraud, that is, he stole other people’s property through cheated and the violation of trust,” said Judge Margarita Kotova, of the Lefortovo court in Moscow, during the reading of the verdict.
Thus, the court has indicated that the opponent is responsible for four cases of large-scale fraud that were imputed to him, while Navalni has been declared equally guilty of the accusations of contempt against him, according to the Russian news agency Interfax.
Last week, the Russian Prosecutor’s Office demanded a sentence of thirteen years in prison, which carries a 1.2 million fine rubles (9,500 euros at the current exchange rate), due to the dangerousness he attributes to Navalni, whom he accuses of creating a fraudulent plot in collaboration with his entourage and through his main organizations.
Navalni remains detained since he returned to Moscow in January 2021, after recovering in Berlin from a serious poisoning suffered a few months earlier. Then, the Justice determined that he should enter prison to serve a sentence for fraud of two and a half years issued in 2014.
