British prosecutors reveal the names of Russians who poisoned Sergei Scripal

Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Bosiro are charged with attempting to kill the former Russian agent and his daughter, along with a British police officer.

There's “sufficient prove” to charge them with the event.

They are thought to have used their names as nicknames and are about 40 years old.

Beyond their identification as Russian citizens, the CPS did not provide further information on who the two men were.

Sergei Scripal, 66, and his daughter, Julia, 33, were poisoned with the Novichok nervous agent in Salisbury in March of this year.

Sue Hemming, director of CPS Legal Services, said there was sufficient evidence “to ensure a realistic perspective of persuasion and that it is in the public interest to accuse Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Bosirov “.

Metropolitan police say they arrived in Gatwick Airport from Moscow on March 2nd and stayed in the City Stay Hotel at Bow Road, east of London before traveling to Salisbury on March 4th, where the main door of Scripal's house was poisoned with Novichok.

The charges include plotting to kill Sergei Scripal, Sergei Scripal's attempted murder, Julia Scripal and Nick Bailey, using and possessing Novichok in opposition to the Chemical Weapons Act, as well as causing serious bodily injuries aimed at Julia Scripal and Nick Bailey.

This event brought a diplomatic clash between Great Britain and Russia. The British government blamed Moscow for attempting Scripal's murder.

Russia has consistently denied any involvement in the incident.
