A request to remove late Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny from a list of “terrorists and extremists” has been rejected despite his death last year, his widow Yulia Navalnaya has revealed – saying that it shows Vladimir Putin is still afraid of her husband.
Russia’s financial watchdog, Rosfinmonitoring, said in a letter published by Ms Navalnaya that her late husband had been criminally investigated for money laundering and financing terrorism. Because it had not been informed of a move to drop the case, Mr Navalny was still on the list, the letter said.
