MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian police have traced opposition politician Alexei Navalny’s movements and what he drank before falling ill in Siberia last month, and are trying to locate a witness who has left the country, the interior ministry said on Friday.

The ministry said it was preparing another request for legal assistance from Germany, where Navalny was airlifted to hospital last month after what Berlin says was a poison attack on him with a Novichok nerve agent.

In a statement, the interior ministry’s transport department in Siberia said it wanted to send investigators to work alongside German colleagues on the case, after reports that Navalny had emerged from a coma.

“This request will include an application for the possible presence of Russian internal affairs investigators... and a Russian specialist when German colleagues are conducting investigations with Navalny, doctors and experts,” the ministry said in a statement.

Sure, just like the 'investigators' who visited Leon Trotsky in Mexico City 80 years ago!

1. Well, of course they want to send investigators to Germany

Specifically to the hospital room where Navalny is being treated. Their investigations need to be carried out with no one else present, and Navalny might be tired afterward, so no one should disturb him until the investigators have arrived back in Russia, so that they can assume their real identities once more.

EXACTLY like Stalin's "investigators" who "visited" Trotsky in Mexico in 1940.

After forum host review, this is interesting but a report of a request that has not yet happened doesn’t meet the SOP for LBN:
