Navalny is currently in Germany after receiving treatment at the Charite Clinic in Berlin after his poisoning in November with the nerve agent Novichok.

The Russian Federal Criminal Service said in a statement on Monday that Navalny was violating the terms of his suspended sentence by staying in Germany after recovering “from his illness.” The opposition politician believes the case is politically motivated.

“Based on the [Lancet] publication, AA Navalny was discharged from the Charite Clinic on 20 September 2020 and by 12 October all the symptoms of his illness were over, ”reads the statement from the Federal Penitentiary Service.

‘The conditionally convicted person therefore does not fulfill the obligations assigned to him by the court and evades the control of the criminal inspectorate [service]. “

The service adds that Navalny was ordered to appear at the penitentiary facility in Russia; otherwise he will be liable and his suspended sentence will be replaced with a proper sentence.

Navalny’s lawyer Vadal Kobzev tweeted late Monday that he had received an order from the penitentiary services to arrive in Moscow on Tuesday at 09:00.

The case, often referred to as the ‘Yves Roche case’, dates back to 2014 when Alexey Navalny and his brother Oleg were found guilty of embezzling approximately $ 500,000 from two Russian companies between 2008 and 2012. One of the companies was associated with a French cosmetic. company, Yves Rocher, and the investigation alleges that the Navalnys washed part of the amount. Both were sentenced to three and a half years in prison, but Alexey’s sentence was suspended.

Navalny responded to the news in an Instagram message, saying: ‘Like I said, there is somewhere [Vladimir] Putin in his bunker, stomping and shouting “Why is he not dead?” and if he did not die, he’s guilty twice, and now we’ll send him to jail. ‘

“But if the publication of The Lancet is recognized at the state level, where’s the criminal case in the poisoning ?!” he added.

Navalny’s press secretary, Kira Yarmysh, tweeted: ‘This is fantastic. The penal service, which is well aware that Navalny is being treated in Germany, tries to jump on the last train (Alexey’s probation period ends on December 30th!) And demands that he report for inspection. tomorrow! “

The State Department issued the most decisive statement to date from the Trump administration last week, blaming the Russian Security Service for the poisoning of Navalny, days after CNN reported the first direct evidence of the agency’s involvement in the poisoning.

The State Department did not want to explain why the U.S. had not charged Russia with this poisoning, or issued a statement earlier. Wednesday’s statement comes after repeated requests for comment from CNN.

An investigation by CNN in collaboration with investigative journalism website Bellingcat revealed that an FSB poison team of about six to ten agents chased Navalny for more than three years before he was poisoned with the deadly nerve agent in August.
The report was followed by the revelation by a Russian agent who sent Navalny to the tail, that they had planted the nerve agent in his underpants, a detail that came to light when Navalny called the man and pretended to be as a member of the Russian National Security Council, for more information on the operation.
