Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia are leaving Albion for NZ
[Otago Daily] Former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia are reportedly settling into new lives with assumed identities in New Zealand.The father and daughter - who were poisoned by Russian military intelligence agents - moved to New Zealand after spending more than a year in a British MI6 safe house, according to the Sunday Times of London. A senior government source told the Sunday Times the two were given new identities and support to start their new lives here. Skripal and his daughter were both found unconscious on a park bench in Salisbury, UK, in March 2018. The two had been poisoned with Novichok, a chemical nerve-agent from the Soviet era. Russian operatives Anatoly Chepiga and Alexander Mishkin were found to have smeared it on a door handle at their home. Skripal once worked as a Russian spy but things turned south for him when his old colleagues found out he was acting as a double agent on behalf of the British in the 1990s and 2000s.
