U.K. police charge 3rd Russian in poisoning of ex-spy

LA Times  

Police officers stand outside the house of former Russian double agent Sergei Skripal in 2018. British police said Tuesday they are charging a third Russian suspect in the 2018 nerve agent attack on a former Russian agent in England. Former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter, Yulia, were targeted in a nerve agent attack in March 2018 in Salisbury, England, that British authorities said had almost certainly been approved “at a senior level of the Russian state.” Moscow has vehemently denied the allegations. The Skripals survived, but the attack later claimed the life of a British woman and left a man seriously ill. Police previously charged two other Russian military intelligence agents, known by their aliases Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov, saying they traveled to the U.K. for the poisoning operation. Police said Tuesday they have evidence that the third suspect, Sergey Fedotov is really Denis Sergeev, a member of the Russian military intelligence service known as the GRU.
