The Insider: Russian special services have suffered another setback



[ad_1]

The number of police officers on duty at Charite Hospital has increased and there is a “red threat level”, as law enforcement agencies fear the kidnapping or possible provocation of Mr. Navaln.

According to The Insider, A. Navaln remembers all the events before the poisoning, up until the moment he lost consciousness from pain in the plane’s bathroom. According to the doctors, physically A. Navaln will regain his strength after the poisoning in the worst case by 90%, and psychologically he has almost recovered his form.

Roman Dobrochotov, editor-in-chief of The Insider, tells what it was like to learn about A. Navaln’s condition and why we could talk about the failure of the special services operation.

– It states that the bottle of water that Mr. Navaln drank from the German officials made it possible to determine with great precision what was poisoning the opposition figure. What do we know about this?

– As the newspaper Die Zeit wrote, it was actually a new version of Novičiok. It is a toxic substance of the same class, only new modifications.

Die Zeit writes that it works faster, but our sources cannot say anything about it. It really works very strongly and couldn’t be manufactured anywhere else, only by the people who created and perfected the formula above.

It cannot be a Prigozhin or a mob. Therefore, there can be no doubt about the Russian authorities in this case.

Again, what has been said before is that the poison could have been in the teacup or in the tea itself, which is highly unlikely.

This is the opinion of both our sources and Germany, as well as the experts we spoke to in Russia, including Ugliova, one of the creators of Novičiok.

First of all, if you drink or inhale this poison, it will work pretty much immediately. We have seen that in this case they acted differently.

If you were to get it from a cup through the skin, it would work in about two hours. This could have happened at the airport. The poisoning probably took place at the airport and A. Navalnas did not drink tea at the hotel.

So there are many different versions of how everything could have happened, but judging by everything, it happened at the hotel. Personally, I am convinced and agree with Ugliov that the poison stained the clothes.

– Why do you write about the failure of the Russian special services?

– We wrote about the failure of the Russian special services, because they allowed A. Navalnas to take the bottle from which he drank.

As he often touched and played it, there were definitely traces of Novičiok on it.
In the body, “Novičiok” is decomposed, it is more difficult to identify, but in the plastic or glass the material remained, it can be said, in its original form, which is why it was so easy to identify. If it weren’t for that bottle, I think it would have been practically impossible to establish that it really was Novičiok.

We would have had to limit ourselves to making statements about some kind of nerve paralyzing substance, which we heard in the early days. It was the fingerprints on that bottle that made it possible to accurately identify the poison.

Poisoned in the hotel

A German laboratory found traces of Novičiok, a substance that paralyzes the nerves, in a bottle of water in a room of the Tomsk hotel where A. Navalnas was staying, published this Thursday in the official account of a Russian opposition figure on the network social Instagram.

“The so-called bottle with Novičiokas, well, more precisely, a simple plastic water bottle, in which traces of poisonous combat substances were later found in a German laboratory. This is a bottle from a room in the Tomsk hotel, where Navalnas himself and our entire film crew stayed,

As noted, members of A. Navaln’s team took the bottle away after it was reported that he suddenly felt unwell on a plane flying from Tomsk to Moscow. They had gone to the hotel with a lawyer.

Almost immediately, the staff of the Navalno Anti-Corruption Foundation, who remained in Tomsk, learned of what had happened. “It just came to our knowledge then. They called a lawyer, went up to the room that Navaln had just left and began to search, describe and pack everything they found there. Also the hotel water bottles,” the report says .

“Two weeks later, the German lab found traces of Noviciok on a Tomsk edition bottle. And then three other labs that took samples from Alexei confirmed that Navaln had been poisoned by him (Novičioku). before he left his number and went to the airport, “the report says.

A video was posted on Navaln’s Instagram account showing anti-corruption fund staff and lawyers arriving at the hotel room.

The Interfax news agency has no information from official sources on this matter.

Russia’s most prominent opposition politician, Navaln, felt bad last month on a plane flying from Tomsk, where he had gone to investigate corruption and promote his “smart vote” campaign against regional elections.

After a plane landing, the 44-year-old politician was taken to the Omsk city hospital and transferred to a Berlin clinic a few days later.

On September 2, German officials, based on the findings of the country’s military laboratory, announced that traces of poison from the group of nerve paralyzing substances “Novičiok” were detected in the body of A. Navaln. Material from the same group, according to London, poisoned former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter in Salisbury, England in 2018.

Navaln’s colleagues believe that the use of this banned chemical weapon shows that only the Russian state can be responsible for the poisoning.
