German doctors say tests suggest Alexei Navalny was poisoned

“The clinical findings indicate intoxication by a substance from the group of cholinesterase inhibitors,” the doctors at Charité hospital said in a statement. “The specific substance has not been identified so far, and a further wide-ranging analysis has been initiated.”

The effect of the toxin “has been proven several times and in independent laboratories,” the statement said.

Navalny remained in an induced coma in stable condition, but his life was not in danger, according to the statement.
