MOSCOW (Reuters) – Russia believes jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny’s brother, who is wanted by authorities in Moscow, left the country for Cyprus last year and has not returned, Interfax news agency cited a court in Russia as saying on Friday.
Russia put Oleg Navalny on a wanted list, interior ministry records showed last month, but his whereabouts had been unknown. He had faced a summons for a court hearing that could have converted a suspended sentence against him into a prison term.
