The 44-year-old Russian opposition leader returns to Moscow from Germany on Sunday night, where he was treated for several months after trying to poison him. According to A. Navaln, this attempt was organized on the instructions of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The politician felt ill during a flight from Siberia to Moscow in August and was later flown by medical plane to Berlin.
Western experts discovered that he was poisoned by the nerve paralyzing substance Novičiok, developed in the Soviet Union.
The Kremlin denies having contributed in any way to the attack, and Russian investigators say there is no reason to launch an investigation.
The Russian Prison Service (FSIN) now says Navaln, who arrived in Moscow, could face jail for violating the terms of a probation sentence imposed on him in a 2014 fraud case. Prosecutors can also prosecute a Anti-corruption activist on suspicion of embezzlement of nearly $ 4 million. dollars donated to their organizations.
Navaln, considered the face of the Russian protest movement for about a decade, became famous as an anti-corruption blogger and organizer of anti-government demonstrations.
