Russia probes Navalny ally for 'threatening suspected poisoner'

Share this contentMOSCOW: Russian authorities on Friday launched a criminal probe into an ally of Kremlin foe Alexei Navalny after she tried to doorstep the apartment of a man Navalny said took part in his poisoning.

The statement said that Sobol tricked a delivery courier into letting her inside the apartment block and then forced her way into the woman's flat when she opened the door. Investigators confiscated Sobol's tech devices as well as her daughter's mobile phone, her associates said. Sobol's lawyer said the probe had been launched following a complaint from Kudryavtsev's mother-in-law.Western governments say Navalny, 44, was poisoned with the Soviet-era Novichok nerve agent in a case that has further dented Moscow's relations with leading European countries and sparked mutual sanctions.

The barred candidates spearheaded demonstrations in the Russian capital over their exclusion from the polls and Sobol also staged a month-long hunger strike in protest.
