CNN reported that Russian opposition activist Alexei Navalni spoke to an agent of the Russian Federal Security Agency's (FSB) poison team to obtain evidence of the assassination.



CNN said on the 21st (local time) that it has confirmed the identity of 6-10 FSB poison team agents who have followed Navalni for more than three years with the British exploration media'Bellingett' and Germany's Despiegel.



CNN asked poison team agents about the assassination of Navalni, but they said they declined to respond.



In response, Navalni himself deceived his status as a senior official of the Russian National Security Council (NSC) and spoke to an agent named Constantine Kudriavchev.



Navalni's phone number was indicated by the phone number of the FSB headquarters, and Navalni tricked Kudriavchev to analyze the cause of the assassination failure and report it to the top.



Kudriavchev, who believed he was a high-ranking official at the FSB, revealed the full picture of the assassination operation, CNN said.



Call logs revealed that the Tox Team tried to assassinate Navalni by putting a nerve agent in his underwear.



When asked how Navalni used nerve agents, Kudriavchev replied "underwear."



Once again, when Navalni asked exactly where the nerve agent was applied, Kudriavchev replied, "The inner groin of the underwear."



The assassination team was convinced that Navalni would die on a plane to Moscow, CNN said.



Navalni showed signs of poisoning on board while traveling from Tomsk, Siberia to Moscow on a domestic flight in August, and the captain landed in Omsk, not Moscow.



"The flight time to Moscow was 3 hours, which is a long flight time," said Kudriavchev. "If the plane had not landed halfway, the result would have been different."



"We didn't all expect this to happen. I'm pretty sure everything was wrong."



When Navalni asked if the amount of the nerve agent was insufficient, Kudriavchev refuted, "As far as I know, we used a little more."



CNN contacted a poison expert and said that if the plane had flew to Moscow, Navalni would have died.



Kudriavchev went to Omsk on August 25, five days after the attempt to poison Navalni, to remove traces of his underwear, CNN said.



"When we arrived, the Omsk friends brought their underwear with the police," said Kudriavchev. "There were no traces left on the underwear."



When Navalni asked, "Wouldn't that be surprising about the clothes," Kudriavchev replied, "That's why we've been there so many times."



Responding to Navalni's claim that it had evidence of poisoning, the FSB said it was a planned'provocation' with the help of foreign intelligence agencies.



The FSB Public Affairs Office refuted to the Russian state-run Tas News that "the so-called'investigation' Navalni published on the Internet is a provocation designed to undermine the honor of the FSB and its employees."



The Public Affairs Office also stressed that "this would not be possible without the organizational and technical support of foreign intelligence agencies."



The FSB Public Affairs Office, claiming that the video of the call between Navalni and his employees was'fake', argued that the spoofing (a technique for changing phone numbers) Navalni used was a tool of a well-known foreign intelligence agency.
