Russian Police Seek To Question Navalny in Germany

Russian police said Friday they were seeking to question opposition leader Alexei Navalny in Berlin after Moscow rubbished Germany's declaration that he was poisoned with the nerve agent Novichok. The 44-year-old Kremlin critic and anti-corruption campaigner fell ill after boarding a plane in Siberia and was hospitalized there before being flown to Berlin. Germany reported "unequivocal evidence" that he was poisoned with the nerve agent but Russia says its doctors found no trace of poison. The Siberian transport police, who have been retracing Navalny's movements, said in a statement that Russia would be preparing a request for its officers and an "expert" to shadow German investigators. The police said following reports that Navalny had emerged from a coma, officers could "ask clarifying and additional questions" and be present as "German colleagues carry out investigative activities with Navalny, medics and experts." The Kremlin has denounced attempts to blame the Russian state for the poisoning as "absurd" and said it wants to know what happened. International politicians have said the incident appears likely to have been state-ordered and urged Moscow to prove its lack of involvement.

Russian police can question Navalny only if he agrees.

A Russian "expert" shadowing German investigators? Absolutely not. Such an individual would be looking for propaganda material rather than assisting in solving a crime.
 
Germany did not provide materials on the situation with Navalny, referring to state secrets, said the Russian permanent representative to the OPCW Alexander Shulgin.
I translate from the diplomatic: "They did not provide materials on the situation with Navalny, since they did not detect any poison."
Otherwise, they would have spread his diagnosis to the whole world and imposed additional sanctions.
 
:roll: More asinine meandering from our Russian propagandist.
