Prosecutor seeks $13,000 fine in Navalny defamation case
- Another Moscow court earlier this month already converted the suspended sentence to jail time for alleged parole violations.
MOSCOW: A Russian prosecutor on Tuesday asked a Moscow court to fine Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny 950,000 rubles ($13,000/10,600 euros) for allegedly defaming a 94-year-old war veteran.
The prosecutors also asked for a three-and-a-half year suspended sentence Navalny received in 2014 to be converted into real jail time as the alleged defamation occurred during the suspended sentence.
