Colleagues of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny say a bottle of water with a trace of the Novichok nerve agent was found in his hotel room. 9News
"Two weeks later, a German laboratory found a trace of Novichok on a bottle from the Tomsk hotel room," they said. "And then another three labs that took Alexei's samples proved that he was poisoned with it. Now we understand: It was done before he left his room to go to the airport."There had been previous speculation that Navalny was poisoned at the airport, where he drank a cup of tea before boarding the flight.
"It was quite obvious that they wouldn't investigate the case in Russia," they said. "And so it happened: nearly a month after Russia hasn't recognised that Alexei was poisoned." A German military lab determined that Navalny was poisoned with Novichok, the same class of Soviet-era agent that Britain said was used on former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter in Salisbury, England, in 2018.
