POKROV — A Russian court finds jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny guilty on embezzlement charges that could see his prison sentence significantly extended, an AFP journalist says.
“Navalny committed fraud — the theft of property by an organized group,” judge Margarita Kotova says, according to an AFP reporter present at the trial held in Navalny’s penal colony outside Moscow.
