Russia freezes assets of jailed opposition politician Alexei Navalny as part of a money laundering investigation - authorities
Russian authorities on Thursday froze a slew of bank accounts linked to jailed opposition politician Alexei Navalny as part of a money laundering investigation that his allies say is a trumped-up attempt to cripple his political movement.
Russian investigators said in a statement on Thursday that they had frozen the bank accounts of Navalny's anti-corruption foundation, those of another organisation, and those of more than 100 linked individuals and legal entities. Masked police officers searched the Moscow offices of Navalny's anti-corruption foundation as well as the homes of several activists on Thursday taking away computers and documents.The crackdown came after investigators opened a criminal investigation on Saturday into the alleged laundering of 1 billion roubles by Navalny's foundation.
