The investigation will be possible if Navalny dies in Germany, explained in the Ministry of Justice
Since it is not a war crime, Germany cannot invoke universal jurisdiction under the International Criminal Code.
The investigation into the poisoning of the Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny is outside the jurisdiction of the German law enforcement agencies and they cannot open a criminal case for this fact. This was reported by the Süddeutsche Zeitung.
Since it is not a war crime, Germany cannot invoke universal jurisdiction under the International Criminal Code.
“The Navalny poisoning took place in Russia – this is the main difference between the Skripal case on British soil and the British victims,” the publication says.
The investigation will be possible if Navalny dies in Germany, the country’s Justice Ministry explained.
Earlier, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the United States will respond to the incident with Navalny as soon as her poisoning is confirmed.
The head of the State Department specified that the United States expects the results of the study of Navalny samples from the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons in the near future.
