Navalny Was Poisoned in Prison, Two Foreign Labs Concluded, Widow Says

The claim challenges Russia’s disease explanation, with the laboratories yet to publish full reports.

Overview

  • Yulia Navalnaya said smuggled biological samples from her husband were tested in two countries and both laboratories concluded he was poisoned.
  • She did not name the labs or identify a substance and urged the facilities to release their analyses publicly.
  • The Kremlin’s spokesman said he was unaware of her statement, while Russian authorities have maintained Navalny died from a mix of illnesses including arrhythmia.
  • Navalnaya cited prison staff testimony describing convulsions, vomiting and a delay of more than 40 minutes before resuscitation, and her team shared images said to show vomit in his cell.
  • Her allegation follows earlier investigative leaks suggesting poisoning, as separate U.S. intelligence reporting previously said there was no definitive proof Putin personally ordered Navalny’s killing.
