The family of one of the Russian secret agents suspected of poisoning Sergei Skripal and his daughter with Novichok in March 2018 (and accidentally killing Dawn Sturgess three months later) has changed their names, according to investigative journalists at Agentstvo Media.
Anatoly Chepiga’s family was issued new passport documents under the surname Korulin(a) in 2019 — shortly after researchers at Bellingcat and The Insider first exposed Chepiga’s true identity. Chepiga’s wife has since registered two cars and purchased plane tickets under her new name.
