The head of the German intelligence service, Bruno Kahl, believes that Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny was poisoned with a poison that was stronger than previous versions of Novichok.
Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny was poisoned with a more powerful substance from the Novichok group than previously used, writes the German daily Spiegel on September 11, citing the head of the Federal Intelligence Service, Bruno Kahl.
According to Kalya, the poison (with which Navalny was poisoned) was even stronger than the previous ones (versions of the Novichok battle poison). Kahl made this statement last week in a secret meeting.
Spiegel also noted that representatives from the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons visited the Charite clinic in Berlin last weekend and obtained Navalny’s blood and urine samples for further investigation.
The composition of the substance with which Navalny was poisoned is important to the German government, the newspaper writes. The more complex, new and less frequent the chemical composition of the poison, the more likely it is that only representatives of the Russian state apparatus will be able to obtain it.
About poisoning Navalny with a new type of “Novichok” previously reported Die Zeit newspaper citing its own sources.
The regular plane in which Navalny was returning to Moscow after a trip to Siberia, on August 20, landed urgently in Omsk due to the probable poisoning of the politician. The opposition team believes that a toxic substance was mixed in their tea.
Navalny was unconscious in the toxic intensive care unit of the emergency hospital number 1 in Omsk, he was connected to a ventilator. Navalny’s main diagnosis in a Russian hospital was called a metabolic disorder.
Initially, Russian doctors did not allow the opponent to go to Germany for treatment, but then gave permission for transport: on the morning of August 22, Navalny was airlifted to the Charite clinic in Berlin.
On August 24, German doctors announced that Navalny had been poisoned. The clinical data indicated intoxication with a substance from the group of cholinesterase inhibitors. They include organophosphate compounds, Kommersant wrote.
Russia’s Foreign Ministry said Germany’s claims about the Navalny poisoning were not supported by facts. Russian doctors suggested that Germany create a group of experts on the Navalny poisoning. However, the German doctors refused.
Doctors at the Charite clinic announced on September 7 that Navalny had been brought out of a medical coma and disconnected from the ventilator. The Russian politician began to react to the verbal stimuli.
On September 10, The Insider and several other media outlets, citing sources, reported that Navalny made a full recovery and recalled the events that preceded the poisoning. A spokeswoman for the opponent said that the article on improving the condition contains inaccuracies.
Germany has handed over to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons the results of an investigation into the Navalny poisoning.
