Daily Mirror: A group of six people called "Cleaners" is involved in the poisoning of Skripals.

In the poisoning of the ex-colonel of GRU Sergey Skripal and his daughter Julia in the British Salisbury, in addition to the twosuspects of Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov, another four people participated. All six were part of a group called "Cleaners".

While Petrov and Boshirov arrived at the Gatwik airport on March 2 - two days before the poisoning of the Skripals - their other accomplices flew to the UK, but their flights landed in other air harbors, writes Daily Mirror , citing sources.

According to the source of the publication, four "cleaners" used the identification data of prisoners contained in the European Union prisons to penetrate the territory of Britain without visas.

“The reserve group was necessary to keep the Skripals under surveillance. Petrov and Boshirov needed that the ex -colonel and daughter would not come at the moment when their door is sprayed with a“ newcomer, ”said the interlocutor of Daily Mirror.

Four "assistants" were also needed in case something went wrong, for example, an accident would happen. In this case, they would portray interested passers -by to pick up a poisonous substance.

"Petrov" and "Boshirov" before the poisoning of the Skripals made several trips to the UK and vice versa to leave the "passport trace" and their final journey did not look suspicious.

Sergei Skripal and his daughter Julia were poisoned by the nerve gas "Novice" on March 4, 2018. The woman was discharged from the hospital in April , and the ex -colonel of the GRU - in May . London claims that the Novice has developed in Russia, but Moscow denies this information.

On September 5, Scotland Yard called the names of the Skripals poisoning "GRU agents" - Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov, publishing their photos and noting that these names are not real.

According to investigators, the suspects applied the nerve substance "Novice" to the handle of the door of the house of Sergei Skripal, and then fell on the recording of the surveillance camera at the Salisbury station. Sergey and Julia Skripaley were found in an unconscious state in Salisbury at about four in the afternoon of March 4, when Boshirov and Petrov, according to the police, were already traveling by train towards London. A few hours later, the Russians flew out of Khitrovo Airport to Moscow.

The combat substance was stored in a container imitating the perfume bottle "Premier Jour" Nina Ricci. The attackers got rid of him, but a few months later he fell into the hands of Briton Charles Rowley and his friend Don Strandes. On June 30, in Aimsbury, they were hospitalized in critical condition. Rodges died on July 8 in the hospital, and Rowley, like the Skripals, managed to survive.

On September 6, London officially assigned personal responsibility for the poisoning of the Skripals to President Vladimir Putin. British Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs Ben Wallace said that Putin, as the head of state, controls, finances and sends military intelligence of Russia (GRU), whose employees are suspected of poisoning his former colleague and his daughter.
