According to a representative of the department, this is possible only if an official investigation of the incident with Navalny is opened in Russia.
"The Federal Department of Justice has indicated that the transfer of personal data of Mr. Navalny can be considered only when an official investigation of this crime is opened in Russia," RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.
The German Ministry of Justice explained that this follows from the European agreement on legal aid and the regulation of the provision of legal aid in Germany.
Earlier, the Ministry of Justice of the Federal Republic of Germany spoke about Russia's requests for Navalny.
On November 6, it became known that the Prosecutor General's Office of Russia received a response from Germany regarding inquiries on the situation with Alexei Navalny, which contains a request to provide additional data on the incident, but there are no answers to the questions posed by the Russian side.
Later, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova commented on Germany's response to Russia's inquiries on the situation with Alexei Navalny.
