Rowley, who had lost a girlfriend and had been in a coma for two weeks, hired Patrick Maguire, the main injury lawyer, reports Metro.

“It has had a huge impact on my life. I want justice,” says the victim.

“Don and Charlie were innocent victims caught in the crossfire of the Salisbury poisonings,” the lawyer said. “Charlie continues to suffer serious side effects from the toxin, but says his biggest worry is uncovering the truth about what really happened.” He feels indebted to Dawn."

Maguire, who represented victims of the London Bridge and Westminster terrorist attacks in 2017, suggests bringing a major claim against the Russian government as one option. We are talking about an amount of 1 million pounds sterling - or just over 1,2 million US dollars.

Dawn died aged 44 on July 8 last year, a week after Charlie, 46, inadvertently gave her a bottle of Novichok disguised as Premier Jour perfume after the man found it in a charity bin.

Charlie survived after 10 days in a coma, and then suffered a stroke and meningitis. He is now recovering, but continues to suffer from health problems and heavy memories that nearly led him to suicide.
