Russian lawyer Alexander Gribakov said that relatives of opposition leader Alexei Navalny could face up to seven years in prison for exporting a bottle with traces of a poisonous substance from Russia.

“For illegal movement of toxic substances across the border can face up to seven years in prison under Article 226.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, if the blogger’s relatives were aware that the bottle contained the remains of a poisonous substance … The situation when the most important evidence was taken out of our country, it seems strange “, – said the human rights activist.

At the same time, Gribakov stressed that it is still premature to talk about any responsibility, since the case has not yet been initiated, only a pre-investigation check is being carried out.
