Novichok attack: Russians charged over UK nerve agent poisoning

CNN  

London CNN — A counterfeit perfume bottle, a basic east London hotel and two burly Russians likely traveling under aliases: just some of the unprecedented details revealed by British authorities Wednesday of how they believe the Novichok poisonings in Salisbury were carried out. The revelations came as British prosecutors said they had “sufficient evidence” to charge two Russian nationals in connection with the nerve agent attack in the southern English city on March 4 on former Russian double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia Skripal. “Prosecutors from CPS Counter Terrorism Division have considered the evidence and have concluded there is sufficient evidence to provide a realistic prospect of conviction and it is clearly in the public interest to charge Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov … with conspiracy to murder Sergei Skripal and the attempted murder of Skripal, his daughter Yulia, and police officer Nick Bailey,” a CPS statement said. She described the Novichok attack as “part of a wider pattern of Russian behavior that persistently seeks to undermine our security and that of our allies around the world” and said the UK would “deploy the full range of tools from across our national security apparatus” to counter Russian military intelligence activities. “The recklessness of the Russian state in bringing a nerve agent in to the UK, and total disregard for the safety of the public, is appalling and irresponsible,” he said.
