Russia opens new Criminal Case against Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny

 On Tuesday, Russian state investigators said that they had opened a new criminal case against Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny, accusing him of fraudulently spending public donations to organisations he controls on his personal needs.


The move is likely to be seen as the latest sign that the Kremlin does not want Navalny, who is convalescing in Germany, to return to Russia after what Berlin & other Western nations say was an attempt in Aug to murder him with a nerve agent.


Navalny is one of President Vladimir Putin’s leading critics & the Kremlin has said he is free to return home just like any other Russian citizen, something he has said he plans to do.


It has said it has seen no evidence he was poisoned however & has denied any involvement in the Aug incident which saw him collapse on a plane before being airlifted to Germany.


Russia’s Investigative Committee, which looks into serious crimes, late on Tuesday accused Navalny & unnamed individuals of large-scale fraud, saying he & others had spent 356 million roubles ($4.81 million) donated to organisations he controls on their personal needs.

That, it said in a statement, included purchasing goods & services & covering personal expenses such as overseas trips.


Navalny responded to the case on Twitter, saying it was fabricated & looked like a hysterical action ordered by Putin.


He said he had predicted that the authorities would seek to jail him after failing to kill him.

Earlier on Tuesday, the Kremlin declined to comment on other potential legal action against Navalny.


Putin has said that media reports that Russian state security agents poisoned Navalny were part of a U.S.-backed plot to try to discredit him. He said Navalny was not important enough to be a target.


Russia’s prison service on Monday gave Navalny another potential legal headache in the form of a last minute ultimatum: Fly back from Germany at once & report early on Tuesday morning, or be jailed if you return after that deadline.

Navalny was unable to return in time.


The prison service said a suspended sentence in an earlier & separate theft case Navalny says was politically-motivated could be changed to a real jail term.

The Doctrine of Alternative Danger

  THE DOCTRINE OF ALTERNATIVE DANGER Although the plaintiff is supposed to be cautious in spite of the defendant’s Negligence, there can also be certain situations when the plaintiff is justified in taking some threat where some unsafe state of affairs has been created by way of the defendant. The plaintiff may appear as puzzled or worried through a hazardous state of affairs created via the defendant and to store his man or woman or property, or now and again to store a third party from such danger, he may take a choice risk. The law, therefore, lets in the plaintiff to come across a choice danger to shop by himself from the chance created via the defendant. If the path adopted by him results in some harm to himself, his motion in opposition to the defendant will now not fail. The judgment of the plaintiff, however, is not rash. The position can be defined by means of the case of Jones v . Boyce . In that case, the plaintiff used to be a passenger in the defendant’s train and inst...
