The Insider and Bellingcat found evidence of Boshirov and Petrov’s involvement in the security services.

The September and The Bellingcat editions of September 14 published copies of official documents of the Federal Migration Service (FMS) with a statement addressed to Alexander Petrov, whom the British authorities call one of the suspects in the poisoning of Scripals. Researchers and the source of the BBC, who worked in the FMS, believe that a note on the document may indicate the involvement of Petrov in the special services.

A copy of the passport application, published today by Bellingcat and The Insider, contains the name, date of birth, parents' names and place of residence of Petrov Alexander Evgenievich. Two BBC sources confirmedthat such documents are actually filed when replacing and issuing a Russian passport.

The published document bears the stamp “do not give information” and a handwritten note “there is a letter from S.S.” The Insider's source, cited by journalists, believes that the marks on the documents mean that Petrov was related to the special services.

The Insider, which was the first to receive the documents, writes that they were provided by a source from the Russian police. The BBC cannot confirm the authenticity of the documents. Two sources who worked in the FMS (the service was disbanded in 2016, its powers were transferred to the Ministry of Internal Affairs) told the BBC that documents of this form - No. 1P - are indeed submitted when replacing and issuing a Russian passport.

It follows from the documents that in November 2009, Alexander Evgenievich Petrov informed the FMS about replacing his passport “due to unsuitability.” The date of birth on the application - July 13, 1979 - coincides with the date of birth of Alexander Petrov, who, according to the online newspaper Fontanka, flew to England in those days when Sergei and Yulia Skripal were poisoned there (Fontanka did not specify where from took this information).

The Insider and Bellingcat also gained access to closed to the public data of Petrov and Boshirov flights and published a fragment of them. The dates in the screenshot are the same as those called by the British police.

Alexander Evgenievich Petrov, whose documents were published on Friday, indicated the city of Kotlas in the Arkhangelsk region as his place of birth, and since 2007 he lived in the Moscow district of Chertanovo, it follows from the document. In Rosreestr, the BBC found the official owner of the apartment in Chertanovo in 2007. His last name is also Petrov. However, the man’s details—name, patronymic, age—do not match those of Petrov, accused by the British authorities.

The former owner of the apartment in Chertanovo ignored questions and calls to the BBC. According to Rosreestr, now the apartment has another owner.

When a BBC journalist visited the address specified in the application, the door was answered by a woman who has owned the apartment since 2014. “Are you probably looking for Sasha?” she asked the BBC correspondent. According to her, from 2014 to 2016 she received fines for violating traffic rules in the name of Alexander Petrov. The fines stopped coming two years ago. She threw out the previous receipts. She has not met any of the Petrovs - neither the former owner of the apartment, nor the suspect in the Skripal poisoning.

None of the other neighbors surveyed by the BBC, could not learn from the photo of Alexander Petrov.

The main feature of Petrov and Boshirov’s applications to replace their passports is the stamp “do not provide information” with code 195-79-66. A source who worked at the FMS told the BBC that such stamps are given to intelligence officers and high-ranking officials so that the FMS does not give out their personal data to bailiffs and other services.

However, another BBC source who issued passports described the following procedure: applications for passports from special services do not go through ordinary employees, but are kept in separate safes and cabinets, so they may simply not need these stamps.

The reverse side of Petrov’s application is not completed; it is intended for official notes. At the top there is a stamp “Do not give information”, as well as a handwritten inscription “there is a letter from S.S.” A BBC source who worked at the Federal Migration Service says that this note means “there is a letter marked top secret,” and this may indicate the applicant’s involvement in the intelligence services.

In early September, the British police called suspects in the poisoning of the ex-Colonel of the GRU Sergey Skripal and his daughter Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov. In the report of Scotland Yard, it was stressed that these names may not be real. The police also believed that the passports that Petrov and Boshirov traveled on were also not real.

Theresa May, addressing parliament on September 5, said that, according to British intelligence services, Petrov and Boshirov are career employees of “Russian military intelligence, known as the GRU.”

On September 13, people who identified themselves as Petrov and Boshirov were interviewed by RT. They said that they really were in Salisbury on the dates indicated, but went there exclusively for tourist purposes: to see the famous cathedral. They denied any involvement in the poisoning and in the work of the GRU.

They called themselves medium-sized entrepreneurs engaged in fitness and health services. No details about themselves, or place of residence, or place of work, they did not name.
