Moscow (dpa) - The Kremlin opponent Alexej Navalny was arrested at the airport after landing in Moscow.

The 44-year-old was taken away at passport control, the opposition member's Telegram channel reported on Sunday.

Russia's penitentiary system had put him out to be wanted because he was said to have violated probation requirements in previous criminal proceedings while he was in Germany.
