While the assessment didn’t dispute Putin’s culpability for the death, it found that the timing possibly wasn’t as intended by Putin, the WSJ report said.
US intelligence agencies have found that Russian President Vladimir Putin likely did not order opposition leader Alexei Navalny’s death at a prison camp in February, the Wall Street Journal reported.
While the assessment did not dispute Putin’s culpability for the death, it found that the timing possibly was not as intended by Putin, the report said, citing people familiar with the matter.
The finding is broadly accepted within the intelligence community and shared by several agencies, including the Central Intelligence Agency, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, and the State Department’s intelligence unit, according to the report.
