Une mère de famille britannique était décédée en 2018 après avoir été empoisonnée au Novitchok, après s’être servie de ce qu’elle pensait être un parfum, dans un flacon trouvé par son compagnon dans une poubelle. Quelques mois avant, l’ancien agent double Sergueï Skripal et sa fille Ioulia avaient été retrouvés inconscients sur un banc de la ville, puis hospitalisés dans un état grave.
00:00There is overwhelming evidence to support my findings that the Novichok was brought to Salisbury by Russian GRU officers for the purpose of the attack on Sergei Skripal and then discarded there, later causing the death of Dawn Sturgis.
00:20I am sure that in conducting this attack on Sergei Skripal they must have been acting on instructions received from their superiors and I have concluded that the operation to assassinate Sergei Skripal must have been authorised at the highest level, indeed by President Putin.
00:42The assessment was made that there was not a sufficient risk of an attempt at assassination on British soil by Russian agents and that was not unreasonable in the circumstances of the time we are talking about 2010 to 2018 circumstances, geopolitical circumstances were a little different from now.
01:09So in summary, the conclusion of the report is that Dawn Sturgis died an innocent victim of an attempt by officers of a Russian state organisation to conduct an assassination on the streets of Salisbury using a highly toxic nerve agent.
