Moscow police launched a series of raids Wednesday on apartments and offices of jailed Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny’s family and associates, arresting his brother.
The searched locations included Navalny’s apartment, where police detained his brother, Oleg, and a rented apartment where Navalny’s wife, Yulia, has been living.
The raids came four days before protests that Navalny’s supporters have called for Sunday.
THAT'S THIS COMING SUNDAY 31 JANUARY (JUST FOR CLARIFICATION)

Putin is scared.

Putin showing trump how it was supposed to be done.
cainofdreaming
Probably already 'found' a written agreement for becoming a CIA asset along with other incriminating stuff in the house.
Bojovnik84
And they got known associates and rejected Alexei's request to be let out. Just gonna let him sit there until people forget and move on.
Ijustwantquiet
Police will enforce any law even ones that are in conflict with other laws or the structure of government.
MrRandom314159
You don't jail your main political opponent AND HIS WHOLE FAMILY? unless you think they're a threat.
stankginchfurbuger
If my last name was navalny and I lived in russia, I'd probably be looking for snakehead right now or something
Royoffinland
I've spread memes about Russian oligarchs so much, that I don't think I'll be voluntarily going to Russia.
Royoffinland
MRW I think about forgetting ridiculing Putin & Co. and going to Russia.
Jace99
Before anyone gets too righteous, America came parlously close to being a fascist dump and is still at grave risk b/c of Rep cowardice.
Foaley
I mean it’s perfectly acceptable to condemn both of them. Also *perilously
Grimmrog
I take typical russian move for 500
Geeebo
Yeah, that stuff is just really screwed up.

I'm shocked...shocked I tell you.

Brace yourself for the false equivalency to the US insurrection
farbauti42
Isn't the Russian gov' basically a mafia organization with a legit army and nukes?
RobertDeal
Just like the Republican mafia in the USA>
thechelonianshelmet
'I'm arresting you for being a relative,' Putins bootlicker probably.
StrictlyBull
Course cause nothing says "our country is not corrupt" like a police force randomly arresting anyone and everyone apart of the opposition.
Sipulikeitto
They don't care. They know people think they are corrupt so it's just scare tactics and assorted assassinations.
SecondAccountforDoingOtherShit
At this point it's not about looking clean. It's making the punishment obvious.
ElroyJetsonEsq
Based on past history, some folks are gonna be accidentally falling out of high windows soon. Crazy unsafe windows in Russia.

Alexei Navalny is not an opposition leader. The party he is a member of is not even part of the Duma.
protozoon
Please inform yourself on Nawalny. Hos positions are very similar to Trump's. The only good thing about him is he is fighting Putin.
gunjniir
These moscow police are patriots
FrolickingFrolicking
following corrupt orders of corrupt mafia-like regime is not patriotism
BreakTheCircle
I wonder how many are just following orders and fear reprisal otherwise.
LovelyMover
Bbc reporter interviewed a Russian demonstrating months ago, asked him why so few people were out, “the Russian people are sleeping”...1/2
LovelyMover
2/2 last statement was that Putin’s probably afraid that Navalny will be the one to wake them up.
turmosoritilaatio
Putin is prolly afraid that who ever holds the power if he retires will come after him and his family. Legit fear, it's been like that there
dogestyle
Many didn't see the point as Putin had locked out any form of opposition. Not sure the situation is much different now, crossing fingers
TheSpeakerOfTheHouse
Dear Americans: do you think they can expect a peaceful transition of power?
iusedtodream
I think it's a fight that's been a long time coming, and the challenge is immense.
Auxilium
From one nationalist to another? Yeah that'll be peaceful... as RIP

I don't think we have a dog in this fight...

Oleg Navalny is to be held in custody for 48 hours and is supposedly a suspect in a criminal case

"Suspect in a criminal case"
Hapsdinersdumpsterfire
Why did he go back? Serious question, was it to support the protesters?
schlummi
Nawalny was accused to be a western spy. By returning to russia he proves that he is a "honest russian", no spy would expose himself.
BaconFuzz
They probably threatened his family
PicassoCT
He is suspected in a murder of a Mr ADD_MADE_UP_NAME_HERE using a MADE_UP_WEAPON

"Funny thing, it turns out Oleg threw a whole lot of doctors out of windows in 2020."
OverwhelmingSurplusOfDiggity
It’ll be a real dead person with the best fake evidence that a national security service can plant.
PicassoCT
Fucks Sake Boys, this is the best you could do?
OverwhelmingSurplusOfDiggity
Would you accept “it will be a total sham and they won’t even attempt to plant evidence”? Cuz in hindsight I think that’s more likely.
PicassoCT
We paid sb to plant evidence, but the contractor took the money and took off. We have hired the same contractor to investigate corruption.
