Zapping Our Mondial EXCLUDED: Ronaldo, Ben Arfa, Lassana Diarra… Hannibal Mejbri’s dream eleven!
This is a case that actually dates from the beginning of the month but has come to light in recent hours. Roman Abramovich, participating in peace talks between Russia and Ukraine on March 3, was the victim of an attempted poisoning. The news announced late yesterday afternoon by the Wall Street Journal has since been confirmed by several sources.
The Guardian notably collected details of this poisoning which struck Abramovich but also two other members of the Ukrainian delegation. According to a source in the English newspaper, the Russian oligarch “became blind for several hours” and had to be treated in a hotel in Turkey.
The privileged mere warning thesis
However, despite this very real poisoning, the thesis of the warning is favored by the various sources. Experts in chemical weapons have indeed estimated that the dose and the type of toxicant used were “probably insufficient to cause potentially fatal damage”. Main objective: “to frighten the victims rather than to cause permanent damage”, notes the English press.
