The Russian opposition leader, who died earlier this month, made the remarks in a 2020 interview acquired by Sky News. He also speaks of his hopes for Russia and the risks he knew he was taken.
Alexei Navalny once hit out at the 'corrupt officials' living in London who allegedly help Vladimir Putin's regime stash dirty money, Sky News can reveal. In a never-before-seen interview acquired by Sky News, the late Russian opposition leader spoke about his hope for a better future for his country - and the risks he knew he was taking. He made the comments in an interview four years before his death in a penal colony north of the Arctic Circle.
Analysis:Navalny interview is a damning indictment from beyond the grave 'These people, they will appear very civilised, we will be pleased to chat with them if they sit next to us, they will be wearing a tie and fine manners, and at the same time they are serving the interests of utter, complete bandits.' The UK's Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office paid tribute to Mr Navalny's life exposing Russian corruption.
