Opposition leader Alexei Navalny continues to criticise the Russian regime under Putin’s rule, urging the people of Russia to take to the streets in protest of the alleged suspicious display of corrupt spending from President Vladimir Putin.
Alexei Navalny is a Russian opposition leader, politician, lawyer and anti-corruption activist, who led a team investigating President Vladimir Putin’s illicit spending of funds on a plush Black Sea Palace said to cost £1 bn ($1.37bn) and to have been bought with the “largest bribe in history”.
He was detained in a Moscow airport late Sunday moments after arriving from Germany and now remains in police custody, where he has been denied the right to a lawyer and put to a hearing, orchestrated within the detention facility where he is being held. Whilst in custody Navalny was able to get a video out to his supporters amongst the Russian people to “take to the streets”, in protest of his persecution and the alleged illicit spending.
Alexei Navalny’s team released the expose video upon the arrest of Navalny on his return to Russian soil, as a counter-action to the unlawful detainment. Watch below for more details on the documentary expose film, from DW News:
The opulent fortress, surrounded by impregnable fences has many amenities including; a helipad, an amphitheatre and wait for it… an underground ice-hockey rink. Naturally, the Kremlin denied any truth to these claims, regarding them as “nonsensical”. Some gaff though.
A two-hour-long expose documentary film released by Alexei Navalny and his Anti-Corruption Organisation (FBK), has a more detailed account of this alleged illegal use of government funds, which you can watch by following this link to Youtube where it already has over 90 million views.
Navalny fled the country of Russia, in fear of his life and has suspicions that he was being trailed by government officials. Seeking solace in Germany where he spent around 5 months recovering from Novichok poisoning, a potentially deadly nerve agent which slows the heart and paralysed the muscles used for breathing. Navalny claims the attack was a direct order of the Russian government.
Novichok poisoning has been used previously in suspicious circumstances when former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia were attacked with the nerve agent in liquid form back in 2018, in the UK. Putin and the Russian government deny any allegations of any nerve agent attack nor any affiliation with claims of the use of taxpayer money to build this extravagant palace.
If the alleged information is true then the Russian president is really Putin on the ritz. Speaking of crackers, why not get your little nibblers on this wild story, right here, about a Chinese restaurant that had customers weigh themselves before placing their order.
