    I didn’t understand this news or notice, is it not so unclear. The Moscow department police is or not responsible by “stealing” the passwords of Navalny? The complain of Andrey Malgin is just a “bubble” or have substance? Unfortunately, only protest, as seems to be the case, is not sufficient to reach a conviction possible liability of someone, in this case the police department.
