Navalny has been in Germany since late August after he collapsed on a flight from Siberia to Moscow and was flown to Berlin by medical aircraft. Today, the Moscow branch of Russia’s Federal Prison Service said in a statement it was “obliged to take all actions to detain” Navalny pending a court decision to turn a suspended sentence he received in 2014 into a jail term.

The European Union last year imposed flight bans and bank account freezes on several Russian officials, including the head of the FSB, over the attack. Kremlin-linked businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin, nicknamed “Putin’s chef” because his company catered for the president, said Navalny “should be a man and come home”.

In 2019, Prigozhin’s catering company won a lawsuit against Navalny and his associates claiming nearly 88 million rubles in damages.
