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

According to the lawyer, we are talking about bottles from the hotel room at the Xander Hotel in Tomsk, where Navalny stayed.
“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 outside our country, it seems strange, “said the human rights activist, whose words quotes RIA Novosti.
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.
