The great Berlin university hospital has issued a statement in which it assures that "clinical analyzes point to a possible poisoning" of the Russian opponent Alexéi Navalni. German doctors claim to have found "traces of intoxication" with a substance that they have not yet been able to identify in Navalni's body. The patient, the note adds, is in the intensive care unit, in an induced coma.
The state of health is serious, but his life is not in danger, according to the diagnosis of German doctors issued this Monday in the early afternoon. The patient is being treated with an antidote and the doctors say they do not yet know what the delayed effects of the toxic substance may be, especially in the nervous system.
The Russian opponent landed in Germany last Saturday at 08.46 in the morning from Siberia in a medicalized plane and in a coma. The environment of the Russian opponent considers that Navalni was poisoned with a tea before collapsing in a plane, forced to make an emergency landing. After being admitted to the Russian city of Omsk, almost 4,000 kilometers from Berlin, the German NGO Cinema for Peace organized the evacuation of Navalni in a private plane.
The device flew to the German capital, where the Russian anti-corruption activist has been admitted since Saturday. Since then, German doctors have carried out diagnostic tests on the patient to establish the causes of his worsening. The analyzes carried out by Russian laboratories with samples taken before Navalni left the country ruled out the presence of poison in the body of the opposition politician.
The German government has requested "transparency" to clarify what happened. "This is a patient who with a certain probability was the victim of a poison attack," said Government spokesman Steffen Seibert at the Monday morning press conference. "Unfortunately there are certain suspicious cases in recent Russian history," he added.
