WASHINGTON — The Treasury Department on Thursday issued new sanctions against Russian security operatives for the 2020 poisoning of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny. The sanctions come two weeks after a Russian court sentenced Navalny to an additional 19 years in prison on extremism charges. Panyaev is described by Treasury as an "FSB operative who reportedly tailed Navalny on multiple occasions prior to the attack." The sanctions complement the State Department's announcement of visa restrictions against the operatives for involvement in gross violations of human rights. FSB officers used the nerve agent Novichok, which was created by the Soviet Union, to poison Navalny, the Treasury memo said.
