the moment when i heard the news that navalny was poisoned, my first thought was can this be the kremlin? would they be so dumb to try to kill an opposition figure, the main opposition figure? i was thinking maybe it's one of the many oligarchs on whose feet he has stepped. either it's a state-ordered attack, or it's somebody who is trying to assassinate opposition figures in order to appease putin. >> the closest anyone has come to tracing a poisoning to vladimir putin, the 2018 attack in salisbury, england. a defiant kremlin insisting again that they had nothing to do with a brazen assassination attempt of former russian spy sergei skripal. >> skripal was poisoned by the

military grade nerve agent novichok. >> the seriousness of novichok is it actually starts switching off your nerve connectors in your body one by one. if it goes properly it will turn you off as a body and then within hours any trace will disappear so it will always look like it was a natural death. >> this is why it appears to be the preferred form of killing for people whose death will be in the public scrutiny such as navalny. there was a lot of pressure for us to start investigating. media partners in russia reached out to us and said can you help? we looked at it and we thought there's no hope in hell we can investigate a crime that happened in russia, in the remote corners of siberia, sitting here comfortably in europe. we didn't even try in the

beginning. >> alexei navalny arrived at this hospital in berlin with his wife, yulia. a spokesperson tweeted the struggles for alexei's life and health is just beginning. here at the hospital both inside and out, he'll be watched. [ speaking foreign language ]

we in berlin are a small team. we have to dive into actually like getting things done. >> we all were very skeptical about investigating alexei's poisoning. as opposed to previous cases this poisoning took place on russian soil so no one is going to share ctv footage with us. we're not going to have fancy videos from the airport where they poisoned his flight in and out. and as much as it hurts to admit, while putin is in power, we'll never find out the truth. >> yulia, how is your husband this morning? [ speaking foreign language ] >> it was so crazy, like it's

putin's signature poison. >> we were actually so shocked that he didn't just decide to murder him but to poison and not just to poison but exactly the novichok is really like leaving his signature on a crime scene. when you come to room of a comatose patient, you're starting to just telling him some news, telling him his story. alexei, don't worry. your poisoning was a murder attempt. putin tried to kill you through novichok, and he opened his like blue eyes wide and looked at me and said very clear -- come on, poisoned? i don't believe it. like he is back. this is alexei.

putin is supposed to be not so stupid to use this novichok. his wording, his expletive. his intonation. if you want to kill someone, just shoot him, jesus christ, like real alexei. it's impossible to believe it. it's kind of stupid. the whole idea of poisoning with a chemical weapon. what the [ bleep ]? this is why it's so smart because even reasonable people refuse to believe. what? come on, poisoned. seriously.

[ speaking foreign language ] the russian media didn't find anything, and german investigators didn't have the jurisdiction, so we realized there's nobody was going to actually actively investigate this. unless we jump into this. we knew that the poison was novichok, and novichok we had proven in the previous investigation is only manufactured in this facility called the signal institute. the signal institute in moscow works under the guise of a r&d center that works in advance form of sports nutrition drinks. that's the legend, and yet they

employ for this work 12 scientists whose only experience and background is in chemical weapons. our hypothesis, this is the entity that actually provides the poison for the killers which travel around the world poisoning people with novichok. so what we did is we bought from the russian black market. the phone records for the head of the signal institute. we looked at numbers that only appear just before the poisoning of navalny, and those were suspicious, but once we have a suspicious number, you go through a number of russian apps that allow you to see how that phone number is listed in other people's phone books, so, for example, i put in my number, and it would show up as kristol the journalist from bellingcat because somebody would have put my name into their phone book and that description would be shared.

first number i looked up showed up as alexei, doctor from fsb. that was interesting, doctor from fsb, alexei. couldn't place a real person behind this name and looked to see if that number shows up in a car registration. that alexey owns a car and then this number was listed for contacting that person. so then you have a real person with a birthday. then you look up his passport file. you see his face. you repeat that many times with the other suspicious numbers. and then you have a short list of interesting people. and these became our prime suspects. now we knew when navalny had traveled to siberia. we had the actual passenger manifests of six different flights that had flown where into novosibirsk where navalny flew from moscow on the day before, during and after the day

on which he arrived there. so we wanted to see if any of those suspicious people traveled to siberia at the time of the poisoning and we found an overlaps. we found a nest of wasps we didn't know existed. it's a domestic assassination machine on an industrial scale. i was absolutely shocked that this was so fast and the whole plot disentangled so quickly so i reached out via twitter and said alexei, i think we may have found who poisoned you. >> after i went out of the hospital, i decided to move into the black forest and live in some small village. you can just walk for hours an and not meet any person at all. these are my friends, little pony is my friend and donkey is yulia's friend. and this is routine of our walk.

lives in vienna but is bulgarian and worked in russia, and he has a lot of money and spends them on investigation of russian crimes, he just sounded too suspicious, too good to be true. capable? he sounded, you know, a bit made up. >> are you confident that he is not mi-6 or cia? >> i'm pretty confident. i wouldn't say i rule it out, but i'm pretty confident that he's not. >> i was suspicious about this guy from twitter. i just saw his old laptop, and all these tables with the data. it turns out, and i was very surprised, that the whole thing about bellingcat is just one smart guy. no cia involved, no mi-6. he's just a nice and very kind bulgarian nerd with a laptop.

[ speaking foreign language ] >> i will show you photographs. you tell me if you recognize any of those people in those photographs. >> hmm . >> getting through emotionally to alexei, it was a piece of cake, took literally like an hour.

getting through to maria took much longer. she was very tough. she never smiled. she was the one vetting me whether i'm a spy or not. [ speaking foreign language ] >> but we needed information that only his team would be privy to. so we found a very workable arrangement, which was completely ethical and acceptable to us. we agreed that maria would be working as part of our team and she would not be sharing with alexei all the information in realtime so that we wouldn't be influenced by the bias of the victim.
