Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) says serious questions are surfacing about “McKinsey’s core values and corporate culture” following the famous international management consulting firm’s order barring its Moscow office employees from joining the growing protests in Russia against the arrest of Alexei Navalny.

Navalny was arrested last week as he returned to Russia from Berlin, where he was recovering from his poisoning five months ago by a military-grade nerve agent known as Novichok. Navalny is one of Russia’s most prominent critics of Russian President Vladimir Putin. His Jan. 17 arrest sparked demonstrations on Jan. 23 that The Associated Press said led to the arrest of more than 3,000 people by Russian police.
