Razvozzhayev prosecuted on charges of illegally crossing state border - Markin

MOSCOW. Dec 4 (Interfax) - The Russian Investigative Committee has started a criminal inquiry against opposition activist Leonid Razvozzhayev on charges of illegally crossing the state border. Razvozzhayev also stands accused of inciting mass disturbances, Investigative Committee spokesman Vladimir Markin told Interfax.

"Aware that he may be prosecuted in connection with the Anatomy of Protest-2 film, Razvozzhayev left Russia on October 15," he said.

Razvozzhayev is being prosecuted because he used his brother's passport to cross the border, he said.
