One of Navalny's lawyers says that the Kremlin critic is now on a national wanted list.

Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny is on a national wanted list for allegedly violating the terms of a suspended prison sentence and risks being jailed for 3 and a half years when he returns to Russia this weekend, one of his lawyers said on Thursday, January 14.

The Kremlin denies involvement in his poisoning, said it has seen no evidence that he was poisoned, and has said he is free to return to Russia at any time. Navalny said the original case against him was trumped up and that he was in Germany at the time being treated as an outpatient for his poisoning so could not report in. The prison service says he was discharged from a Berlin hospital in September and therefore should have returned to Moscow and reported to them.

"The court can change his whole suspended sentence into a real one and give him 3 and a half years in jail," said Kobzev.
