If the Kremlin did kill Alexei Navalny, why now? The Russian opposition leader’s allies have offered their answer to the question that has hung over his death, alleging that President Vladimir Putin had the jailed dissident killed to thwart an imminent prisoner swap that would have freed him — and two Americans. Five sources told NBC News that a deal to free Navalny was in the works, although the swap was not thought to be imminent when Navalny's death was announced on Feb. 16.
The difference this time, the source said, was that Navalny had a connection to Germany — where he underwent treatment after a poisoning attempt in 2020 that he blamed on the Kremlin — and trading Krasikov for him could be justified to the German public. The German government would not comment on the alleged talks, and Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Tuesday that he was not aware of any swap arrangements.
