Yulia Skripal Was Poisoned with a Nerve Agent just Days after gaining access to a £150,000 ‘Secret bank Account’ with proceeds from a House sale in Britain, it emerged today.
The money had belonged to her brother Alexander who died in mysterious circumstances in St Petersburg last year.
She had been given power of attorney over the cash in late February from her father, double agent Sergei Skripal, poisoned by nerve agent Novichok alongside her on March 4 in Salisbury.
The cash – now in an unknown Russian bank – was from the sale of the house he had shared in Britain with his ex-wife, Natalia, like Yulia, 33, the daughter of a GRU military intelligence colonel
The ‘secret bank account’ was disclosed by Sergei’s niece Viktoria Skripal, 45, who aims this week to travel to meet Yulia in hospital in Salisbury
