The investigative group Conflict Intelligence Team said that it was possible to establish the real name of Alexander Petrov, whom the UK accused of being poisoned by Skripale, because he bought a Mercedes from the second suspect, Anatoly Chepiga.

The researchers found out that Chepiga, known as Ruslan Boshirov, sold the BMW X5 in 2017 and retained the car number that he used on the new car - the Mercedes GL-Klasse. However, as CIT established, a certain Alexander Evgenievich paid fines for violations committed on this car..

Using a pirated database of insurance companies, researchers learned that the car belongs to Alexander Mishkin. In one of the bases, they found a snapshot of Mishkin’s driver’s license - a man looks like Alexander Petrov.
