“Today at 7 am the police came to Lyubov Sobol’s apartment,” Navalny’s team tweeted on Friday. “Since 7:10, Sobol has had no contact and the cameras in her apartment have been sealed and turned off.”
Russia’s main investigative body, the Investigative Committee, confirmed that it had opened a criminal investigation against the activist Sobol.
The committee said the investigation was launched after Sobol allegedly threatened a member of the country’s Federal Security Service (FSB).
On Monday, after the report was published, Sobol went to Kudryavtsev’s apartment to confront him.
According to a video that Sobol posted on Twitter, the residential building was quickly surrounded by the police and Sobol’s team was approached by a woman who introduced herself as Kudryavtsev’s mother.
Sobol was then taken for questioning, but released Tuesday morning.
On Friday, police arrived at Sobol’s home, seizing all the electronics belonging to the activist, her husband and daughter, Navalny’s team said.
Ivan Zhdanov, head of Navalny’s Anti-Corruption Fund, wrote on Twitter that investigators launched an investigation into the invasion “using violence or threat of use” after Sobol rang the FSB agent’s bell.
Navalny fell ill on a plane to Moscow and ended up being taken to Germany for treatment. He finally survived the attempt on his life.
The anti-corruption activist accused the Russian state of involvement in the poisoning.
The Kremlin denies any wrongdoing.
