Putin critic Navalny found guilty of fraud by Russian court
Source: The Hill
Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny on Tuesday was found guilty of fraud by a Russian court.
In a case that Navalny says is politically motivated, the Russian government could potentially give the prominent Kremlin critic another 13 years in prison on top of the 30-month sentence he received in 2021, Reuters reported.
Prosecutors have recommended Navalny to go to a maximum-security penal colony.
He was found guilty on charges of fraud and contempt of court. The government accused him of embezzling funds for himself and his organization.

45 will do this if he makes it to 47. This is raw, corrupt power. Poisoned twice wasn't enough.

to remove voting apps in Russia when Navalny and other pro-democracy groups could have voted using those app's to remove the asshole and his gang now in power...

He'll never get out alive. He loves his country, but he should not have gone back after being poisoned.
If he is released, he needs to GTFO ASAP.
