Yulia Navalnaya Says Lab Tests Show Her Husband Alexei Navalny Was Poisoned Before His Death
Yulia Navalnaya says two separate medical lab results show her husband was poisoned. Alexei Navalny died suddenly in February 2024 at an Arctic penal colony. Russian authorities have declined to investigate the circumstances of his death.
Navalny, who rose to prominence for his sleek anti-corruption investigations and open opposition to President Vladimir Putin, died suddenly in February 2024. Russian authorities have declined to investigate the circumstances of his death, which deprived the opposition of its most charismatic figure and deepened rifts within his Anti-Corruption Foundation.
Navalnaya said in a video statement that her husband’s biological samples were obtained last February and later “securely smuggled abroad.”
She said laboratories in two different countries independently concluded that Navalny had been poisoned. Navalnaya did not identify the countries where the lab tests were conducted or the alleged poisonous substance said to have been involved in her husband’s death.
The Moscow Times could not independently verify her claims.
Yulia Navalnaya says foreign tests show her husband was poisoned
Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny died suddenly in 2024. Wife Yulia Navalnaya has repeatedly accused Russia of killing him. The Kremlin dismisses the claim as nonsense. US intelligence agencies have determined that President Vladimir Putin did not order Navalny killed.
Navalny, 47, died suddenly on Feb 16, 2024, in a Russian prison in the Arctic Circle, depriving the opposition of its most charismatic and popular leader.
Yulia has repeatedly accused Russia of killing him, a claim the Kremlin dismisses as nonsense.
She posted a video on X in which she said that biological material from Navalny was smuggled abroad in 2024 and that two laboratories examined the material.
“These labs in two different countries reached the same conclusion: Alexei was killed. More specifically, he was poisoned,” Navalnaya said.
She demanded that the laboratories release their findings about what she called the “inconvenient truth”. She did not specify what poison the laboratories had found.
Last year, Navalnaya dismissed information from Russian investigators that Navalny had died from “a combination of diseases”.
US intelligence agencies have determined that President Vladimir Putin did not order Navalny killed, according to the AP and the Wall Street Journal.
