MELEKHOVO, Vladimir region. Aug 4 (Interfax) - The Moscow City Court has sentenced Alexei Navalny to 19 years' imprisonment at a maximum security facility for forming an extremist group, as well as other crimes, during an offsite hearing at Penal Colony No. 6 in the Vladimir region, an Interfax correspondent reported.
"A definitive penalty is to be imposed on Navalny in the form of imprisonment for a term of 19 years, to be served at a maximum security correctional facility," judge Andrei Suvorov said.
The sentence takes into account the previous one handed down by Moscow's Lefortovsky District Court in 2022. In line with the law, Navalny has been assigned to a maximum security facility as a particularly dangerous recidivist.
