The sentence to Navalny brothers on the “Yves Rocher” case had to be rendered on Friday, January 15. Several minutes ago it was announced that the sentence would be rendered tomorrow, December 30, 9 a.m.
The trial on the “Yves Rocher” case with Oleg and Aleksey Navalny as defendants was held in Zamoskvoretsky Court on Friday, December 19. Now the trial is over.
The Prosecutor’s Office required that the court should find Aleksey and Oleg Navalny guilty of fraud in the case of “Yves Rocher”. A nine years imprisonment was asked for Aleksey Navalny, but given that this period is added to the suspended sentence in the case of “Kirovles”, it will make up a total of ten years.
The Prosecutor’s Office asked to give 8 years’ imprisonment to his brother Oleg. It is worth mentioning that earlier on Friday the house arrest of Aleksey Navalny was extended until February 15, 2015. He was allowed to communicate only with the government authorities and with the European Court of Human Rights.
