A Russian court reportedly sentenced imprisoned Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny to an additional nine years in prison for fraud charges.

On Tuesday, Navalny was convicted of embezzling from his Anti-Corruption Foundation and contempt of court charges, according to Russian state media Tass. The sentencing comes on top of a two-and-a-half-year remaining sentence he is currently serving.
