Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny was fatally poisoned with a toxin from Ecuadorian dart frogs that is 200 times stronger than morphine, his widow, Yulia Navalnaya, said Saturday.
Navalny, 47, died Feb. 16, 2024 in an Arctic penal colony, sparking outrage around the world.
Foreign ministers from the United Kingdom, Germany, Sweden, and the Netherlands joined the activist’s widow Yulia Navalnaya as she made the revelation to reporters at the Munich Security Conference.
The neurotoxin, known as epibatidine, is classified as a chemical weapon and is used by South American tribes as they hunt, according to Sky News.
“It is hard for me to find the right words,” Navalnaya said as she announced the findings, which she intends to submit to the United Nation’s chemical weapons watchdog.
