The Kremlin has made a second attempt to poison Alexei Navalny, the London Times reported in a headline.
The post headlines that Russian spies tried to kill Putin’s fiercest critic with the deadly nerve agent Novichok before they took him to Berlin, according to intelligence sources.
The post claims the second attempt was made while Navalny was in a coma. Then, as in the first attempt, the Russian escaped death thanks to a dose of atropine antidote.
Navalny felt bad during a domestic flight from Siberia to Moscow, recalls the Sunday Times. Sweaty, disoriented and full of doom, he collapses in the aisle between the airplane seats with the words “I’m dying, I’m poisoned.”
The pilot made an emergency landing in the city of Omsk, where the ambulance team injected Navalny with atropine, an antidote to poisons. This could have saved his life.
But now it is known that the operation to kill him was not over, writes “Sunday Times”. After the failure of the first poisoning attempt, the security forces made a new attempt, with a second dose of poison.
It is alleged that he was handed over to him before he was transferred to Berlin for further treatment. This was revealed yesterday to the British edition of Sunday by intelligence sources.
The British newspaper reported that Russian security forces may have influenced the doctor who treated Navalny in Omsk, for which he later announced that Putin’s biggest critic probably suffered from a metabolic disorder. not by poisoning.
German security officials believe the suspected killers seized the opportunity to carry out a second attack with the deadly nerve agent.
The idea was that Navalny would already be dead when he arrived in Berlin, the Sunday Times reported, citing one source.
However, the second attempt was unsuccessful, so Navalny continued his treatment in Berlin and then began to recover.
Using a second dose of “Newbie” certainly increases the likelihood of murder, says Alistair Hay, professor of environmental toxicology at the University of Leeds, as quoted by the Sunday Times.
But if it has already been “atropinated”, it has counteracted the nerve agent, although it may have prolonged the coma. The toxin needed more time to break down in the liver, Hay said.
Russia has denied any involvement in what happened to Navalny, although both German investigators and the Intergovernmental Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons have issued reports on Novichok, the Sunday Times reported.
