Read our privacy policy Britain has exterminated evidence in the Salisbury spy poisoning case and has benefited politically from the incident, Russia’s foreign minister has claimed. Sergey Lavrov said the Government had “grossly manipulated” the chemical weapons watchdog when it orchestrated a change in the rules to allow it to identify who is responsible for attacks. The minister described the poisoning of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia as a “very bad crime” but said the “inconsistencies” in the case were “very troubling”. “It all looks very weird, you know.” Salisbury spy poisoning: Yulia Skripal says she is 'lucky to have survived' and would one day like to go home to Russia Asked if he was accusing the British state of a cover-up, he replied: “I don’t exclude this, as long as they don’t give us information.” “Certainly, the UK has benefited politically from what is going on and it’s an interesting situation whereby a country that is leaving the EU is determining the EU policy on Russia,” he added.
