Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny has alleged Vladimir Putin owns a billion-dollar palace with fraudulently obtained funds.

Navalny made his allegations in a video his team released online, which has been viewed more than 35 million times.

The release came two days after Navalny was jailed for 30 days upon his return to Moscow.
Navalny was taken into custody on Sunday night after he flew home for the first time since he was poisoned last summer.
He claimed Putin allies paid for the construction of the $1.35 billion Black Sea palace, according to the BBC.
