“Immediately, as soon as the wife of this citizen turned to me, I immediately instructed the prosecutor's office to check the possibility of his going abroad for treatment.
Meaning that they could not have been released, because he had restrictions related to the judicial investigation and the criminal case, "Putin said.
He added that he had asked the Prosecutor General's Office to allow Navalny to leave Russia.
“If ... the authorities, in any case, would like to poison someone, they would hardly send him to Germany for treatment.
Is not it?"
- said the Russian president.
Putin also recalled that Russia has repeatedly asked Germany to provide materials on the Navalny case.
“These materials could serve as the basis for initiating a criminal case, if it is really a criminal event, to investigate it.
But they don’t give anything, ”the Russian president added.
Earlier, the Bundestag said that they did not immediately receive a letter from the State Duma on Navalny.
