Interfax: Yulia Navalnaya left Russia for Germany. Her lawyers say they don't know about it

 The wife of the politician Alexei Navalny, Yulia, left Russia, Interfax reports, citing an informed source.

According to the agency, Yulia Navalnaya flew from the Moscow Domodedovo airport on a flight to Frankfurt am Main.

The reasons for her departure are still unknown. Navalnaya herself did not comment on this. Her lawyer Svetlana Davydova and lawyer Alexei Navalny Vadim Kobzev told TASS that they did not know about Yulia Navalny's departure from Russia. RIA Novosti was also told about this by her lawyer Veronika Polyakova.

Mediazona writes that, according to the SkyScanner service, there was only one Lufthansa flight that took off at 16:15 Moscow time on the route Moscow - Frankfurt-am-Main on February 10 without transfers. Interfax's message about Navalnaya's departure appeared in the agency's closed feed at 16:22.

Lufthansa declined to comment, citing the privacy of passenger information.

On January 17, Alexei Navalny was detained after returning to Russia from Germany, where he was treated after being poisoned, presumably with a combat poison from the Novichok group. He was charged with non-fulfillment of the obligations of a conditionally convicted person in the Yves Rocher case. On February 2, Navalny's suspended sentence was replaced with a real one in this case. The court appointed him two years and eight months in prison.
