		</div><p>Russian authorities seized Alexei Navalny’s Moscow apartment while the opposition leader was still in a coma, his spokeswoman has said.<br />
Mr Navalny, the most prominent critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin, was discharged this week from a Berlin hospital where he was treated for what German authorities determined was nerve agent poisoning.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>The 44-year-old collapsed on a domestic flight in Russia on August 20 and spent nearly three weeks in a coma.<br />
Russian bailiffs announced seizing his share in a Moscow apartment a week after he fell ill on August 27, spokeswoman Kira Yarmysh said in a video statement.</p>

<p>“It means the apartment can’t be sold, gifted, or mortgaged. That’s when Alexei’s bank accounts were frozen, too,” Mr Navalny’s spokeswoman added.<br />
According to Ms Yarmysh, the seizure was connected to a court ruling in favour of a school catering company reportedly linked to Yevgeny Prigozhin, a tycoon with ties to Russia’s president that earned him the nickname “Putin’s chef”.</p>
<p><!--Ads2--></p>
<p>Prigozhin was among a dozen Russians indicted in 2018 by a US grand jury in the investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller, alleging he funded internet trolls involved in interfering with the US presidential election in 2016.</p>
<p>Last year, a Moscow court ordered Mr Navalny and his associates to pay 88 million rubles (£850,000) in damages to a company reportedly linked to Prigozhin after they accused the company — and him — of allegedly supplying contaminated food to Moscow kindergartens and sparking an outbreak of dysentery among dozens of children.<br />
Prigozhin’s spokesmen denied he had anything to do with the company.</p>
<p><!--Ads3--></p>
<p>Days after Mr Navalny fell into a coma, Prigozhin announced he had bought the debt from the company, promising to “ruin” the politician if he survived.<br />
Mr Navalny has remained in Berlin to undergo rehabilitation after being released from hospital, but his allies said he planned to return to Russia.</p>
<p>Mr Navalny’s team blamed the Kremlin for the poisoning, claims which officials have denied.<br />
Authorities bristled at demands to launch a criminal investigation, blaming Germany for not sharing findings and medical data with Russian law enforcement.</p>
<p>Germany has noted that Russian doctors have their own samples from Mr Navalny since he was in their care for 48 hours before being transferred to Berlin for treatment.<br />
