Russian agents tried to create a conspiracy theory that M16 was behind the plot to murder Sergei Skripal.
Former KGB spook Skripal, 66, and his daughter Yulia collapsed on a bench at The Maltings shopping centre on March 5 last year after being poisoned by novichok.
Two GRU intelligence officers travelled to Britain and covered Skripal's door handle at his home with the toxic substance, but both Yulia and Sergei managed to survive.
The senior officers travelled under the pseudonyms Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov, but they were later identified as Anatoly Chepiga and Alexander Mishkin.

There has never been a sufficient explanation as to why Skripal was targeted in the first place.
He came to the UK as part of a spy swap in 2010, but was not thought to be active in the intelligence community anymore.
But an outlandish conspiracy theory cropped up that the attempted murder plot on Col Skripal, came from Britain's own intelligence services.
The theory is Mr Skripal provided ex-MI6 spy Christopher Steele with information about Donald Trump and his alleged links to the Kremlin.
The evidence linking Skripal to the Trump dossier was a supposed LinkedIn page, claiming Skripal's ex handler went on to work for a company founded by Mr Steele, called Orbis Business Intelligence.
The link no longer works, and nobody has been able to reproduce it.
The information all proved to be false, with a strong suspicion the LinkedIn page was created by the Russian intelligence services as part of a campaign of misinformation.
A source told The Telegraph: 'By creating this link they (the Russians) are suggesting that MI6 are involved with the dossier or Skripal or both.
'It adds to the confusion and acts as a wedge between the White House and Downing Street.
'It is exactly the kind of operation the Russians would order to sow confusion.'
It comes as four Russians - including the two men accused of planting Novichok in Salisbury last March, Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov, and their superiors, the head and deputy head of the Russian military intelligence unit the GRU - have been sanctioned by the EU.
Sanctions were also imposed on Syria's Scientific Studies and Research Centre and five Syrian officials directly involved in the centre's activities.

Mr Hunt said: 'Today's new sanctions deliver on our vow to take tough action against the reckless and irresponsible activities of the Russian military intelligence organisation, the GRU, which put innocent British citizens in serious danger in Salisbury last year.
'We have also imposed sanctions on individuals and an organisation responsible for the Syrian regime's abhorrent use of chemical weapons over many years, including in Douma in April 2018.
'The UK has been at the vanguard of this EU action. We will continue to show our willingness to stand up for the international rules that keep us safe, and which the Kremlin and the Assad regime seek to undermine.'
The Council said in a statement that the decision 'contributes to the EU's efforts to counter the proliferation and use of chemical weapons, which poses a serious threat to international security.'

Two GRU intelligence officers...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
