According to Russia’s Federal Penitentiary Service, Navalny was taken into custody for repeated violations of his probation in relation to the Yves Rocher case. Breaches of the probation period happen quite often, legal expert Sergei Maximov told Izvestia. It can have rather serious consequences for Navalny, he stressed. He noted that a convict may be placed into custody if the crime is considered grave or if it is a particularly serious felony, and this decision is taken by the court within several days, usually within 48 hours.
