٠٠:٠٠:٣٢Yulia Navalnaya arrived at the Penal Colony No. 2 outside the city of Pokrov, Tuesday, for an offsite court hearing against her husband Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny.
On Monday Navalnaya demanded to be allowed to the court hearing via her Instagram page. Supporters of Navalny and journalists who will follow the hearing in a separate room were allowed into the territory of the colony, where the activist is serving time in the Yves Rocher case.
The fraud case against Navalny was initiated over a year ago. According to the investigation, the politician stole and spent more than 350 million rubles donated to the Anti-Corruption Fund for personal needs.
Another case that will be reviewed in court concerns insulting a judge who sentenced Navalny to a fine for libel against World War II veteran Ignat Artemenko in June last year. Navalny was arrested on January 17 as he returned from Germany, where had been recovering from alleged poisoning. He was later sentenced to three and a half years in a penal colony for violating probation terms. He has denied the charges.
