The Russian Federal Prison Service (FSZIN), on Tuesday, filed a lawsuit in a Moscow court that began transferring the suspended prison sentence imposed on Navalny in the so-called Yves Rocher case. FSZIN said Sunday night that the politician would remain in custody until the court ruling. Navalny returned home from Berlin, where he was hospitalized after being poisoned in Russia by several Western laboratories in August. The Kremlin denied it had anything to do with the incident.
