FSB agent admits novichok attack on opposition leader

[768]

The BBC said:

Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny duped a Russian FSB state agent into revealing details of an attack on him with the nerve agent Novichok, the investigative group Bellingcat reports.

The YouTube video has English subtitles. They're shocking. Presumably Putin will just continue to smirk and deny.

I am just confused why they continue to use something that seems easily traceable as Russian and has a rather poor 'success' rate?

Because they just don't care and are the law never mind above it.

Maybe it is a warning to everyone as much as anything else. It’s not 100% necessary for the Russians for the victim to die.

It's clearly a warning/statement. The Skripal case shows that. If they just wanted him dead they would have broken into his house in the middle of the night and shot/stabbed him.
