Alexey Navalny's wife says lab tests show he was poisoned before death
"The 47-year-old anticorruption campaigner, who was serving a 19-year sentence at the time of his death, was an outspoken critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Navalnaya said that before his burial, his allies were able to obtain and securely transfer biological samples of Alexey abroad. They were then sent to two laboratories for testing, she added. These labs in two different countries reached the same conclusion: Alexey was killed. More specifically, he was poisoned, Navalnaya said."
"Navalny was poisoned in August 2020 in Russia before being flown to Germany for treatment. German officials confirmed at the time that he had been poisoned with the nerve agent Novichok. Then-German Chancellor Angela Merkel said there were serious questions that only the Russian government can and must answer. The Kremlin has always denied any involvement in Navalny's illness."
Yulia Navalnaya says allies obtained biological samples of Alexey Navalny before his burial and transferred them abroad for testing. Two laboratories in different countries reportedly analyzed the samples and reached the same conclusion that Navalny was killed, specifying poisoning. Navalnaya urged those laboratories to publish their results, calling the findings an inconvenient truth. Russian authorities have denied involvement and previously reported that Navalny died suddenly while on a walk in the IK-3 penal colony, with investigators attributing the death to disease. Navalny previously survived a 2020 Novichok poisoning and later returned to Russia.
