Russia Declares Ex-Duma Deputy Yury Napso Wanted

Authorities launched a search following months of disciplinary measures culminating in court rulings against the ex-lawmaker.

Overview

  • Law-enforcement sources told RIA Novosti that Yury Napso has been placed on a wanted list in Russia.
  • The Interior Ministry database lists him as federally wanted under a Criminal Code article that is not specified.
