A court in Moscow has issued an arrest order in absentia for Yulia Navalnaya, the wife of the late Russian opposition politician Alexey Navalny. The Basmanny District Court in Moscow accused Navalnaya, who currently resides outside Russia, of participating in an extremist organization. She has been added to an international wanted list as well.
The court also granted a request by the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation to detain Navalnaya, with the detention period to be calculated from the moment of possible extradition to Russian territory or from her detention on Russian soil. Navalnaya does not currently live in Russia.
