LONDON: Britain and allies France, Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands are convinced that late Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny was poisoned with a lethal toxin in a penal colony two years ago, they said in a joint statement on Saturday.
That was the conclusion of the five governments based on analyzes of samples from Navalny, according to the statement issued in London.
It added that the analyzes had conclusively confirmed the presence of epibatidine, a toxin found in poison dart frogs in South America and not found naturally in Russia. The Russian government has denied any responsibility for Navalny’s death.
