National-Bolshevik Party leader and eXile columnist Edward Limonov was arrested on 7 April in Altai krai by
counter-intelligence agents of the FSB (former KGB) and transferred to Moscow's
Lefortovo Prison, where he awaits arraignment.
Limonov faces a possible
eight years imprisonment for violating Criminal Code Article 222
(illegal
possession, transfer, distribution, storing, transport or carrying of firearms,
ammunition, explosives), according to an Izvetsia reporter who
spoke with the FSB's press center.
