Navalny is already serving a nine-year sentence for fraud and contempt of court. He also was sentenced in 2021 to 2 1/2 years in prison for a parole violation.

The 47-year-old Navalny is President Vladimir Putin’s fiercest foe and has exposed official corruption and organized major anti-Kremlin protests. He was arrested in January 2021 upon returning to Moscow after recuperating in Germany from nerve agent poisoning that he ...
