Dutch authorities announced the expulsion in April 2018 of four Russians who planned to commit a cyber attack on the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW).

The operation was organized by the GRU, said in the Netherlands. The Russians tried to hack Wi-Fi OPCW, reports NOS.

In September, the authorities of the Netherlands and Switzerland told about the arrest and expulsion of two Russians who tried to monitor the Spiez laboratory and were suspected of being a cyber attack on WADA. Details of these cases are unknown..



In the spring of 2018, the OPCW was studying the assassination of Skripale in Salisbury, as well as a chemical attack in Syria, in which the West accused the regime of Bashar Assad. Russia denied both charges.

UK accuses GRU in organizing the assassination of Skripale. According to London, the executors were employees of the department who used documents in the names of Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov (according to the media, the real name of Boshirov is Anatoly Chepiga). Petri and Boshirov themselves say that they traveled to England as tourists and are not associated with the GRU..
