Deputy Premier and Foreign Minister
Antonio Tajani said Tuesday that there was no doubt that Russian
opposition leader Alexei Navalny had been killed in custody, the
only question is whether it was directly or indirectly.
"We don't know if he was killed by a killer, but the death of a
person can also be caused with a detention that is incompatible
with life and this happened," Tajani said.
"He was in a gulag, like the ones used by the Soviet Union, in a
region of Russia where the climate is unlivable.
"I don't know what happened, it's true that we need to ascertain
the truth.
"But if Navalny's death was not caused directly, it was caused
indirectly".
