MOSCOW (Reuters) – A Russian court has ordered that the brother of Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny be held under house arrest until March 23 for breaching COVID-19 restrictions, it said on Friday.

Oleg Navalny was detained on Wednesday when police raided Moscow offices of Navalny’s group and several other properties linked to him.
