Alexei Navalny was placed on preventive registration as prone to escape. This was reported on behalf of the oppositionist on his Instagram.
“The guards come in and take me to a room on another floor. There are three there: a captain, a lieutenant colonel and a colonel.
- We have a meeting of the preventive commission. It has been decided to put you on preventive registration as prone to escape.
Well, of course, I start laughing. And then, not for the first time in the last month, I ask: “Is this a joke? Is it a practical joke?
But they don’t laugh, but give me a piece of paper to sign,” says the story on behalf of Navalny.
- On February 2, 2021, the court replaced Navalny’s suspended sentence in the Yves Rocher case with a real one. Now the oppositionist is in pre-trial detention center No. 1 of federal subordination, located on the territory of the Moscow pre-trial detention center “Matrosskaya Tishina”. On February 17, the ECHR demanded that Russia immediately release Alexei Navalny.
- In 2014, brothers Alexei and Oleg Navalny were found guilty of fraud (Part 2 and Part 3 of Article 159.4 of the Criminal Code) and money laundering (Part 2 of Article 174.1 of the Criminal Code) in the Yves Rocher case. Oleg was sentenced to three and a half years of real life, Alexey - to three and a half years of probation. According to investigators, the brothers stole more than 26 million rubles from the Yves Rocher Vostok company and more than four million rubles from the Multidisciplinary Processing Company. Back in 2013, Yves Rocher provided the Investigative Committee with a report according to which no damage was caused to the company.
- In connection with the detention of Alexei Navalny, a series of protests took place throughout Russia. The largest protests took place on Saturday, January 23, and Sunday, January 31. Security forces reacted harshly to the protests: on January 23, more than 4,000 people were detained, and on January 31, more than 5,500 . On the day the FSIN petition was considered, arrests also took place near the Moscow City Court building, including journalists.
