According to the investigation, an employee of the Russian special services, Denis Sergeev, coordinated the actions of two other people, allegedly using Novichok poison.
The British prosecutor’s office accused Russian citizen Denis Sergeev of involvement in the assassination attempt on former GRU officer Sergei Skripal in the city of Salisbury. On Tuesday, September 21, reports The Independent.
“The UK has filed charges against a third Russian intelligence officer in the 2018 attack on Sergei Skripal using the Novichok substance,” the statement said.
We are talking about Denis Sergeev, who, according to the investigation, arrived in the UK on documents in the name of Sergei Fedotov. Investigators in the UK believe that Sergeev coordinated the actions of two other people who allegedly used Novichok poison against Skripal.
Recall that Sergei Skripal, convicted of espionage in favor of Great Britain, and his daughter Yulia were discovered in March 2018 with signs of poisoning in Salisbury, where a former GRU colonel was living at that time. According to the British authorities, the Skripals were poisoned with a nerve agent Novichok, and the assassination attempt was organized by the Russian special services… Russia categorically denies involvement in the poisoning of the Skripals.-
Sergei and Yulia Skripal survived the poisoning, but a few months after the incident, a local resident, Don Sturgess, died, who accidentally came into contact with the poison that was in the perfume bottle.
