The Russian Federal Penitentiary Service said in a statement on Monday that “staying in Germany” after recovering from his illness “is violating the terms of his suspended sentence. Opposition politicians believe the case is politically motivated.
“Based on this [Lancet] Publication, AA Navalny was discharged from the Charity Clinic on September 20, 2020 and has passed all the symptoms of his illness by October 12, ”the Federal Penitentiary Service said in a statement.
“Thus, the conditionally convicted person is not fulfilling the responsibilities assigned by the court and is evading control of the penalty investigation. [service]”
The service adds that Navalny has been ordered to be present at a penalty control facility in Russia; Otherwise he will be liable and his suspended sentence will be replaced with the actual sentence.
Navalny’s lawyer Vadim Kobzev tweeted late Monday night that he had received orders from the penal control services to show Navalny in Moscow by 9am on Tuesday.
When Alexei Navalny and his brother Oleg were convicted of embezzling about $ 500,000 from two Russian companies between 2008 and 2012, the case in question was known as the “Yves Roche case.” One of these companies was affiliated with French Cosmetics. The company, Yves Rocher, and the investigation claimed how much of the money was laundered by Navalny. Both were sentenced to three-and-a-half years in prison, but Alexei’s sentence was suspended.
Navalny responded to the news in an Instagram post: “Like I said, there is somewhere [Vladimir] Putin threw stones at his bunker and shouted, “Why couldn’t he die?” And if he could not die he is guilty twice and now we will put him in jail. “
“But if the Lancet publication is being recognized at the state level, where is the criminal case of poisoning ?!” He added.
Kira Yarmish, Navalny’s press secretary, tweeted: “It’s just weird. A well-known penal service is trying to jump on the last train (Alexei’s probation expires on December 30th!) And demands that Navalny be treated in Germany.” That they report for inspection. Tomorrow! “
The State Department does not explain why the U.S. Why not impose any cost on Russia for this poison or issue a hasty statement. The statement came Wednesday after repeated requests for comment from CNN.
