According to Spiegel magazine, there are increasing indications that the Kremlin may have been involved in the attempted poisoning of Alexei Navalny. German authorities accuse the perpetrators of performing a ruthless calculation, but it failed
In the case of the attempted poisoning of the Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny, the signs of involvement of Russian government services are increasingly specific. According to information from Spiegel, published in its latest issue, the poison used against Navalny is a further development of previously known compositions of the nerve agent Novitschok.
“The poison is even more powerful than its predecessors,” explained the president of the Federal Intelligence Service (BND), Bruno Caal, in a secret meeting last week.
For the German government, the composition of the nerve agent Novitschok is the most important indication that Russian President Vladimir Putin could be involved in the case. It is believed that the more complex, new and rare the chemical composition of the poison, the more likely it is to be achieved with the help of the Russian state apparatus.
German security authorities currently assume that only a Russian secret service could poison Navalny on the way to or from the airport. Since the opposition politician was shown to be closely monitored by the Russian secret service FSB, no one sees any other possibility.
Navalny suddenly collapsed on a flight from Siberia to the city of Tomsk in late August complaining of severe muscle spasms. Putin’s critic is now being treated at the Charité Hospital in Berlin, has awakened from his coma and is responding to the environment.
Meanwhile, the German authorities have reprimanded the crime.
The perpetrators’ calculation was that Navalny would die on the plane. Only the brave intervention of the pilot, who landed spontaneously in Omsk, and the subsequent treatment of Navalny, with an antidote for the local hospital, saved his life.
The Kremlin has repeatedly denied any involvement in the assassination attempt. Instead, Moscow accuses the German government of wanting to politicize the case. On Friday, Moscow asked Navalny to be examined in Berlin by Russian investigators.
