One of the men accused of trying to assassinate Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny has inadvertently confessed to the plot in an impressive trap by Navalny himself. According to Bellingcat, a member of the suspected poison squadron of the FSB described the murder plot in a phone call with a man he believed was a first-rate security officer, but who was actually Navalny. In a call recording, Konstantin Kudryavtsev describes how his team carried out the plot and how they tried to clean up the evidence. Most dramatically, the agent describes how the nervous agent who poisoned Navalny was applied to a pair of underwear. Navalny asked, “What piece of fabric did you focus on?” Kudryavtsev replied: “The underpants.” After Navalny asked for more details on exactly where the nerve agent was applied to the underwear, Kudryavstev replied, “Well, the crotch, as they say.”
