Lab tests on Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny confirmed the presence of a banned nerve agent.

A watchdog organization said chemicals in Navalny's fluids matched Novichok poisoning.

Navalny spent 32 days in a German hospital. 

He's a critic of President Vladimir Putin and the Russian government.

The Kremlin denies involvement and doubted the hospital's poison diagnosis.
