Berlin police reacted to the data of Der Spiegel about the strengthening of security near the clinic where Alexei Navalny is located. The agency quotes RIA Novosti.
The law enforcement agencies do not know where this information came from in the media. In a conversation with RIA Novosti, police representatives stressed that they did not comment on security measures in principle.
Earlier, Der Spiegel wrote that the number of police officers guarding the German clinic “Charite”, where the Russian is located, has increased. Law enforcement agencies allegedly took such a step due to the likely increase in the number of visitors.
On September 10, it became known that Alexei Navalny completely recovered after being taken out of a medical coma on September 7. He became ill on August 20 during a flight from Tomsk to Moscow. In the first two days, the Russian was assisted by the doctors of the Omsk hospital. They also introduced him to an artificial coma. On August 22, the patient was sent to a clinic in Berlin.
On September 2, the German government announced that military toxicologists had found traces of a substance from the Novichok group in Navalny's body and called on the Russian government to respond to this information. Moscow, in turn, said that they are waiting for a response to the request of the Prosecutor General's Office of Russia to the Ministry of Justice of Germany.
