Skripal's testimony revealed in Salisbury
Sergei Skripal, a former GRU colonel convicted in Russia of spying for Britain, believed Britain was safe and that there was no need to hide his identity, according to his testimony, which was read out at a public hearing in Salisbury.
He said that in the weeks before the 2018 poisoning, despite media reports, he does not remember telling anyone about the risk.
He also noted that he did not know which organization was responsible for ensuring his safety.
He had not lived in the highly protected area since 2010. The Salisbury house was on a quiet street and some of his neighbours were former police officers.
