The seller had suggested that the buyer only purchase one dose, as many would attract the attention of the police.Īfter the Maltese police, with the help of secret services and foreign police forces found out about the case, the communications changed and the buyer didn’t want to pay for the explosive as the police had intercepted it. In the conversation, the buyer mentioned that the intended victim was a man and was asked his height and weight so as to calculate a lethal dose. In these communications, in which both persons kept their identities hidden, not only were explosives mentioned, but also the potent poisons Polonium-210 and Ricin. ![]() These led to the interception of internet communications between a person selling the C4 and a potential buyer.
