Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu held a press conference at the New Scotland Yard.
N Yale Basu told reporters that the investigation would take "many weeks", but now the police are trying to establish how the poison was used. According to him, detectives do not yet have any suspects. In other words, the investigation has only just begun.
It is completely incomprehensible that this inconsistency in the words of police officers and the most authoritative British politicians. Of course, it was necessary to work with Scotland Yard in advance, perhaps even before the assassination attempt. Introduce the case, sketch the theses of future press conferences. Explain what to say, and what better to keep quiet.
It seems to me that Neil Basu for good reason disavows Teresa May, Boris Johnson, and along with them, overseas allies like Donald Trump. Which also blurted out, that he did not doubt the guilt of Russia. Well, here it is clear: transatlantic solidarity, political expediency, higher goals.
