LONDON (Reuters) - Russia's financial watchdog has rejected a request to remove late opposition leader Alexei Navalny from its list of "terrorists and extremists" even though he is dead, his widow Yulia Navalnaya said on Friday.
She published a Dec. 16 letter from the watchdog, Rosfinmonitoring, that said Navalny was the subject of a criminal investigation into money laundering and the financing of terrorism. It said the watchdog had not been informed of any move to drop the case, and therefore he was still on the list.
