“Days after the Czech authorities accused the assassination team, known as Unit 29155, of being behind a series of 2014 explosions at weapons depots that killed two people, Mr. Gebrev acknowledged that his supplies were stored at the depots,” The New York Times writes.
“In an email to The New York Times, Mr. Gebrev acknowledged that he was storing ammunition at the Czech arms depot and admitted something that he had long denied: that his company, Emco, had shipped military equipment to Ukraine after 2014, when separatists backed by the Russian military and intelligence services started a war with Ukrainian forces. (…) Russian spies have twice tried to poison Emilian Gebrev (…) with a substance resembling the same Novichok nerve agent used against former spies and obstinate critics of President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia. (…) Bulgarian prosecutors charged three officers from Unit 29155 with poisoning Mr. Gebrev in January 2020 and issued warrants for their arrest,” the New York Times writes.
Later in the day the businessman’s company, Emco, sent out a press release that the New York Times was making false claims of alleged trade relations between the company and Ukraine. According to Emco’s position, there is only one thing that has so far been established beyond any doubt and it is that the same agents from the same GRU unit were complicit in terrorist activities in Czechia in 2014, in Bulgaria in 2015 and in Great Britain in 2018.
