Salisbury poisoning victim Sergei Skripal branded 'scumbag' and 'traitor' by Vladimir Putin in shock interview
Putin denied any Russian involvement in the Salisbury affair that saw Skripal and his daughter Yulia poisoned with Novichok and led to one local dying
President Vladimir Putin has slammed former double agent Sergei Skripal who was poisoned as a "scumbag" who betrayed Russia.
Skripal and his daughter Yulia were found slumped on a public bench in Salisbury in March.
They were poisoned with nerve agent novichok thought to have been administered by Russian intelligence officers.
Russia denies involvement in the affair.
Speaking at an energy forum in Moscow Putin said: "I see that some of our colleagues are pushing the theory that Mr Skripal was almost some kind of human rights activist."
"He was simply a spy. A traitor to the motherland. He's simply a scumbag, that's all."
His remarks drew applause from parts of the audience.
