LISBON (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 24th November, 2018) It is unclear where former Russian double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia currently are, and this proves that the UK government and intelligence has "something to hide," Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Saturday."Where is Yulia Skripal, and where is her father � these are our main questions today. They have not been shown to the public for many months already," Lavrov said at a press conference with his Portuguese counterpart Augusto Santos Silva in Lisbon.
Lavrov recalled that recently a new BBC documentary on investigation into Skripal case had been released.
"The film has not revealed anything new concerning the understanding of what had in fact happened. But it is symptomatic that not a single word was said in this film on where these unfortunate people are, where Skripals are ... I rule out that the journalist who was making the film on Skripals had not tried to get access to them. And such access had not been provided, as not a single word has been said about them [in the film]. This means only one thing � the UK government and the UK intelligence have something to hide," Lavrov said.
The former Russian spy and his daughter were found slumped on a bench in a park in the UK town of Salisbury on March 4 after being exposed to a suspected nerve agent of the Novichok type. UK authorities accused Russia of being behind the murder attempt, a claim rejected by Moscow as baseless.
