Police raid apartment of Russian anti-corruption activist Navalny in Moscow, his YouTube channel’s studio also targeted – reports | |
(32 minutes later) | |
Police searches are being carried out at the Moscow home of Russian opposition figure Alexey Navalny, and at a studio where he films videos for his YouTube channel, associates of the imprisoned activist reported on Wednesday. | |
Writing on Twitter, Ivan Zhdanov, director of Navalny's FBK (Anti-Corruption fund) said “In Maryino [a district of south-east Moscow], they came to the apartment of Alexei Navalny with a search warrant. There are many 'heavies,' in masks." | |
"They started breaking down the door," he continued. "In the apartment is Oleg Navalny [Alexey's brother]." The activist himself is being held at the Matrosskaya Tishina pre-trial detention center, in the capital, because of his violation of the terms of a probation period in a fraud case involving French cosmetics firm Yves Rocher. | |
