Moscow says UK police should not get involved in ‘dirty political games’

MOSCOW, July 5, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Moscow on Thursday said British police should avoid getting involved in political games after a UK couple were poisoned with what London believes is the same nerve agent used in an attack against a Russian ex-spy this year.

“We urge British law enforcement not to get involved in dirty political games that certain powers in London have already begun and instead finally cooperate with Russian law enforcement in their investigations,” foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told a briefing.
