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.
