Suspected poisoning of Russian exiles under investigation by German police.

German police are investigating the possible poisoning of two Russian exiles who attended a conference in Berlin organized by a Russian Kremlin critic. The investigation is being handled by the state security unit, a specialized team that examines cases related to "terrorism" or politically motivated crimes. Several poison attacks have been carried out abroad and in Russia against Kremlin opponents in recent years, and Moscow denies its secret services were responsible.
