ALBAWABA - Russian authorities informed the mother and attorneys of late opposition leader Alexei Navalny that the probe into his death in jail "has been extended," Navalny's spokesperson said on Monday.

"It is not known how long it will continue. The cause of death is still 'undetermined'. They're lying, playing for time, and do not even hide it," the spokeswoman, Kira Yarmysh, said on X.
