How to persecute Skripale - the English version of events
Based on the information currently available, journalists concluded that the poisoning of the former Russian intelligence officer and his daughter was the result of an extraordinary 30-hour operation, which was conducted by a special group of GRU officers trained to find traitors and destroy them. It consisted of four people, previously unknown MI-6. It is likely that they arrived in Britain on March 3.
The first pair of killers had to deliver the poison and use it, while the second was in reserve in case of emergency situations. According to journalists, a woman was a part of the main two, it is possible that she played a key role in the team of poisoners. A perfume bottle was used as a poison container.
The nerve agent poison was applied to the door knob of the room in which Sergey Skripal lived. Later, the perfume bottle was thrown out at Queen Elizabeth Gardens, where after a few months it was accidentally discovered. And this event was fatal for a 44-year-old British woman Don Sturges, who decided to splash out of the bottle on her wrists.
The Russian team of liquidators left the borders of England on March 5. And this time they did not use the complex, tortuous route characteristic of spies, but flew a direct flight of Aeroflot to Moscow. On the same day, British intelligence intercepted an encryption that contained the phrases “the team made a successful departure from the target” and “the package was delivered”.
After examining the recordings of video cameras in Salisbury, as well as in the main airports of the country, British law enforcement officers were able to calculate the Russian spies and identify the identities that they used to return to their homeland.
