#AceBreakingNews Court Report: Jailed Russian opposition leader and vocal Putin critic Alexei Navalny found guilty of fraud he is already serving a two-and-a-half year sentence at a prison camp around 100 kilometres east of Moscow for parole violations related to charges he says were fabricated to thwart his political ambitions.

A Russian court has found jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny guilty of large-scale fraud and sentenced him to nine years in a maximum security prison.

A judge also ruled that Navalny would have to pay a fine of 1.2 million rubles ($15,486). 

Navalny is one of the most prominent critics of Russian President Vladimir Putin and has dismissed the criminal case brought against him as politically motivated.

A gaunt Navalny stood beside his lawyers in a room filled with prison security officers as the judge read out the accusations against him.

The 45-year-old seemed unfazed, looking down as he flipped through court documents.

Prosecutors had asked the court to send him to a maximum-security penal colony for 13 years on charges of fraud and contempt of court.

Navalny was jailed last year when he returned to Russia after receiving medical treatment in Germany following a poison attack with a Soviet-era nerve agent during a visit to Siberia in 2020.

Navalny blamed Putin for the attack, though the Kremlin said it had seen no evidence that Navalny was poisoned and denied any Russian role if he was.

After the last court hearing into his case on March 15, Navalny struck a typically defiant tone.

“If the prison term is the price of my human right to say things that need to be said… then they can ask for 113 years. I will not renounce my words or deeds,” he wrote on Instagram.

Russian authorities have cast Navalny and his supporters as subversives determined to destabilise Russia with backing from the West.

Last month, Russian officials added Navalny and a number of his associates to a state registry of extremists and terrorists.

Many of Navalny’s allies have fled Russia, rather than face restrictions or jail at home.

Navalny’s opposition movement has been labelled “extremist” and shut down, although his supporters continue to express their political stance, including their opposition to Moscow’s military intervention in Ukraine, on social media.
