The Lefortovo court in Moscow found Alexey Navalny, the leader of the Russian opposition, guilty of “large-scale fraud”, who has been in prison for over a year on other charges. The news agency Interfax reports.
Navalny is responsible for “fraud, that is, he stole the property of other people by deception and violated trust,” said the judge, Margarita Kotova, while reading the sentence. According to the court, the dissident is responsible for four cases of “large-scale fraud” and subsequently, according to Interfax, the court will rule on the accusations of outrage that weigh against him.
