Russian anti-corruption campaigner has Twitter account hacked

Investigators searched the home of Mr Navalny, the television star Kseniya
Sobchak and several other opposition figures on June 11 in connection with
that probe. Photographs of Miss Sobchak’s confiscated possessions appeared
on a tabloid website linked to the security services shortly afterwards.

The raids were widely seen as a scare tactic to discourage the people involved
from taking part in a new street demonstration in Moscow the next day.

Shortly after his comments about the Twitter hacking on Tuesday, Mr Navalny
was called in for questioning about alleged use of extremist language during
opposition protests in December.

The activist has promised to keep up his anti-corruption campaigning despite
the legal onslaught. On Monday, he was elected to the board of
state-controlled Aeroflot after being proposed by minority shareholder
Alexander Lebedev, who owns the Independent and the Evening Standard.

Mr Navalny said he would attempt to improve corporate governance at the
flagship airline.
