A drug from the Novichok group was used against Alexei Navalny, which was stronger than previous forms – according to the weekly “Der Spiegel”, Bruno Kahl, the head of the German Federal Intelligence Service (BND), said during a secret conference.

Alexei Navalny was hospitalized on August 20 in Omsk, Siberia. He felt unwell on a plane flying from Tomsk to Moscow and lost consciousness. At the request of the family, two days later, he was transferred by air ambulance to the Charite clinic in Berlin, where he underwent a detailed examination and intensive treatment.

Last week, German Chancellor Angela Merkel reported that Navalny had fallen victim to a “poison assassination attempt”, and a Bundeswehr laboratory examining his samples found that a Russian oppositionist had been poisoned with a Novichok chemical warfare agent.
