Russian prison service confirms it detained Navalny

Russia’s prison service confirms it has detained Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny at a Moscow airport shortly after he landed on a flight from Berlin.

The prison service, the FSIN, says in a statement that it has detained Navalny for “multiple violations” of a 2014 suspended sentence for fraud charges, adding that “he will be held in custody” until a court ruling.
