Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny was the victim of an attack and poisoned with the Soviet-era nerve agent Novichok, the German government said Wednesday, citing new test results.
Navalny, a politician and corruption investigator who is one of Russian President Vladimir Putins fiercest critics, fell ill on a flight back to Moscow from Siberia on Aug 20 and was taken to a hospital in the Siberian city of Omsk after the plane made an emergency landing.
He was transferred two days later to Berlins Charité hospital, where doctors last week said initial tests indicated Navalny had been poisoned.
Chancellor Angela Merkels spokesman, Steffen Seibert, said in a statement Wednesday that testing by a special German military laboratory had now shown proof without doubt of a chemical nerve agent from the Novichok group.
