MOSCOW. Sept 28 (Interfax) – The Russian Investigative Committee has opened a criminal case against opposition activist Alexei Navalny, who is serving time in a penitentiary in Russia, and his close associates on counts of establishing and participating in the activity of an extremist network.
"The Main Investigative Department of the Investigative Committee has opened a criminal case under Part 1 Article 282.1 of the Russian Criminal Code (the establishment and leadership of an extremist network) in regard to A.
