A Moscow court has issued an arrest warrant for Yulia Navalnaya, the widow of late Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny, on charges of participating in an extremist organization. The Basmanny district court has ordered her arrest in absentia for two months and declared her wanted by Russian authorities. The charges are reportedly linked to her involvement with her late husband's Anti-Corruption Foundation, described as an extremist community. Navalnaya currently resides outside of Russia. The court's press service confirmed the arrest warrant on Tuesday.
