Russia’s Supreme Court has upheld the verdict against opposition politician Aleksei Navalny and his brother Oleg in the so-called Yves Rocher case.

The court said on April 25 that, after revising the case following a request by the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), it found that the Navalny brothers were lawfully convicted in 2014.
