Did Russia Use a Dart Frog Toxin to Kill Alexei Navalny? How Deadly Is This Poison?
Britain, France, Germany, Sweden, and the Netherlands say tests found epibatidine toxin in Navalny's body, linking Moscow to his death in a remote Arctic prison.
- On Saturday, five European allies accused Moscow of murdering Navalny while he was held in an Arctic penal colony, citing analysis of samples showing a poison-dart-frog toxin.
- Laboratory findings cited by the five governments found epibatidine, a poison-dart-frog toxin from South America that is not found naturally in Russia, in samples from Navalny's body.
- Russian authorities had previously told Navalny's widow that he died of natural causes, and they rejected claims of poisoning, calling them unfounded.
- Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov rejected the claims on Monday, saying, `Naturally, we do not accept such accusations. We consider them biased and unfounded. And, in fact, we strongly reject them.`
- Two years after his death, the case drew renewed attention as Navalny's mother Lyudmila Navalnaya touched his portrait at Borisovskoye Cemetery in Moscow on Monday.
