@BILD obtained secret RU state news chat protocols & possesses witness accounts of two RT employees, describing how the Putin regime used @de_rt_com last year to spy on Alexei @navalny, @leonidvolkov & Maria @pevchikh & tried to "penetrate into @ChariteBerlin“.
#PutinAtWar

@BILD @de_rt_com @navalny @leonidvolkov @pevchikh @ChariteBerlin The spying operation was led by @Ruptly /RT DE chiefs Dinara Toktosunova and Ekaterina Mavrenkova as well as RT DE's new online managing editor Ivan Klyopov.
They gave direct orders to the tasked two German employees of the Russian state channel.

@BILD @de_rt_com @navalny @leonidvolkov @pevchikh @ChariteBerlin @Ruptly According to the interviewed RT employees, Dinara Toktosunova is closely connected to @M_Simonyan while Ekaterina Mavrenkova also seems to have good contacts to the Russian government.
They believe all their findings went straight to Moscow.

@BILD @de_rt_com @navalny @leonidvolkov @pevchikh @ChariteBerlin @Ruptly @M_Simonyan At some point, one of the RT employees - Daniel Lange - refused to continue spying on Navalny - after he was ordered to enter the Charité and find a way "through the checkpoints" to reach the Russian opposition leader in coma.
His colleague tried to enter the hospital 6 times.

@BILD @de_rt_com @navalny @leonidvolkov @pevchikh @ChariteBerlin @Ruptly @M_Simonyan Lange, who searched for a way out, deliberately raised awareness among Berlin police, guarding Navalny.
In September, Berlin special police (LKA Berlin) forces stopped his car twice and searched him and his colleague.
The video shows the final moments of the police operation.

@BILD @de_rt_com @navalny @leonidvolkov @pevchikh @ChariteBerlin @Ruptly @M_Simonyan BILD verified the video with the logbook of RT DE's company car and his situation report to his Russian superiors.

@BILD @de_rt_com @navalny @leonidvolkov @pevchikh @ChariteBerlin @Ruptly @M_Simonyan All in all, the Russians and their German - sorry - tools - spied on the Charité, the Bundeswehr hospital in Berlin where they thought, Navalny would be treated, and a Potsdamer Platz hotel, where they suspected Volkov to live after they analyzed an interview, he was giving.

@BILD @de_rt_com @navalny @leonidvolkov @pevchikh @ChariteBerlin @Ruptly @M_Simonyan Our investigation shows that RT DE / Ruptly leadership did not just ignore the journalistic code, but also breached multiple German laws, despite being advised by their German employees that they were doing so.

RT DA SAYS, IT WILL SUE US.

@BILD @de_rt_com @navalny @leonidvolkov @pevchikh @ChariteBerlin @Ruptly @M_Simonyan RT DE is naming and blaming its employees that talked to us.
Wow.

Spying victim and Alexei Navalny's chief of staff, Leonid Volkov, demands RT DE to lose its license in Germany as well as its leadership being extradited to Russia.

@BILD @de_rt_com @navalny @leonidvolkov @pevchikh @ChariteBerlin @Ruptly @M_Simonyan @AuswaertigesAmt @BMI_Bund @RegSprecher This is RT DE's reply to my 10 questions on the accusations.
Funny: They tried to prove, they "did not spy on Mr. Navalny" by emphasizing, they did not publish "any report on this" - which is exactly one of the many reasons, their employees say, what they did was no journalism.

@BILD @de_rt_com @navalny @leonidvolkov @pevchikh @ChariteBerlin @Ruptly @M_Simonyan @AuswaertigesAmt @BMI_Bund @RegSprecher #Update
RT DE / Ruptly chief Dinara Toktosunova personally attacks our main witness Daniel Lange.
This is how the channel reacts to #RTDEgate and the spying accusations.

@BILD @de_rt_com @navalny @leonidvolkov @pevchikh @ChariteBerlin @Ruptly @M_Simonyan @AuswaertigesAmt @BMI_Bund @RegSprecher Trouble in Moscow.
RT Russia sort of explodes after our revelation.
#RTDEgate
#PutinAtWar

As RT and some western apologists now claim, “this was only journalism”.
They were:
➡️NOT allowed to speak about it.
➡️NOT allowed to publish about it.
➡️NOT allowed to take their equipment with them.
➡️NOT allowed to tell, they came from RT DE.
This was clearly #NoJournalism.

Serious escalation by the victim of RT DE’s espionage ...
#PutinAtWar

We are looking forward to whatever they want us to not have quoted them or their employees.
🤷🏼‍♂️🙃

Another classic.
When Lange told Mavrenkova, he couldn’t take pictures of a military area (the German army hospital) and there were even warning signs, telling people to not take images, she asked him:

Remember: None of the images or videos was ever published.

@BILD @de_rt_com @navalny @leonidvolkov @pevchikh @ChariteBerlin @Ruptly @M_Simonyan And I also geolocated the video.
Just for fun. ;-)

#UPDATE
Here is our new article, based on the RT DE escapist Daniel Lange' testimonies (who worked for the Russians from 2016 until Monday).
He describes how right-wing extremist ideology is sought and cultivated at RT & how this is pumped into articles.
