Former double agent Sergei Skripal is the victim of a poison attack in the UK in 2018. In addition to two agents from the Russian secret service, there is now a third suspect.
Police in the UK have charged a third suspect with the poison attack on former Russian double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Julia.
As the Metropolitan Police announced on Tuesday, it is a Russian citizen named Denis Sergejew, who is also known by the alias Sergei Fedotov. The charges include attempted murder and possession and use of a chemical weapon. An extradition request will not be made due to a lack of hope of success, the message continues.
Skripal and his daughter were discovered in March 2018 with serious poisoning on a park bench in the southern English city of Salisbury. As it turned out later, they had been poisoned with the neurotoxin Novichok. You just got away with your life. A woman who later came into contact with the poison container disguised as a perfume bottle in the neighboring town of Amesbury died. A man friend of hers and a police officer also suffered poisoning – but both survived.
The British investigators had so far identified the two Russians Alexander Mishkin and Anatoli Tschepiga alias Alexander Petrow and Ruslan Boschirow as suspects, who were later unmasked by journalists as agents of the Russian military intelligence service GRU. In an interview on Russian television, the two had previously stated that they had only traveled to Salisbury as tourists to visit “the beautiful city” and the “famous cathedral”. According to the Metropolitan Police, Sergeyev is also said to be a GRU agent.
