Prominent Russian anti-corruption campaigner Alexei Navalny left the country early Saturday to receive medical treatment in Germany for his suspected poisoning, the Associated Press reported, after doctors allowed him to be moved and his wife appealed directly to President Vladimir Putin.
Local doctors approved his transportation after consultations with German medics, the state-controlled RIA Novosti news service reported earlier, citing Anatoly Kalinichenko, the deputy head of the hospital where Navalny is being treated.
