The head of the Russian spy agency died a few weeks after the Russian president's relentless crackdown on the "foolish" blunders of his unit in Novichok, according to reported reports.
Colonel Igor Korobov, responsible for Salisbury 's poisoning response in March, has died as a result of a long illness, according to the Russian news agency TASS.
The Russian Ministry of Defense has expressed its condolences to the family of Korobov and praised it as "real son of Russia", without however disclosing any other details.
Last month, it was reported that the 62-year-old player was shaken and suffered "poor health" after his confrontation with the strong man of the enraged Kremlin.
At a meeting at the Russian Ministry of Defense, the "morons" behind the botched espionage operations – details of which were made public – were criticized by Putin.
This comes after the true identity of two GRU criminals who successfully carried out an assassination attempt against a former Moscow spy in Salisbury (Wiltshire) in March was confirmed by investigative reporters.
Officials also revealed that four Russian spies were expelled from Holland in April for attempting to hack a laboratory that was testing the nerve agent used by Novichok during the attack.
Those responsible for the catastrophic mistakes were denounced for their "deep incompetence" and their "infinite recklessness" at the meeting in Moscow.

Russian journalist Sergei Kanev, close to revelations about the identity of GRU agents sent to Britain and Holland, opened fire on Putin's fury.
He is known for having excellent contacts with the secret services and has fled into exile, fearing to be arrested in Russia.
Kanev, who writes for The Insider, who is working with Britain's Bellingcat to reveal details of Russian spy operations, said GRU sources said Korovov had returned home after meeting Putin.

A cleaning of the military spying agency is expected after the disastrous operations. Korobov would be out of breath.
The crisis is likely to affect Putin's close friend, Sergei Shoigu, the defense minister, who is in charge of the GRU.
Kanev said: "It is likely that Korobov will be fired before the end of this year and that General Sergey Gizunov, born in Leningrad (St. Peterburg), will take office.
"Gizunov is called" the eyes and ears "of Vladimir Putin in military intelligence."
Last week, it was revealed that spies from the GRU had been driven from Holland in April after being arrested while they were trying to hack the Chemical Weapons Monitoring Group, the OPCW, which was investigating the attack by a neurotoxic agent of Salisbury.

Officials said military agents used diplomatic passports and were received by a member of the Russian Embassy at Amsterdam-Schiphol airport.
The counterintelligence unit, which attempted to destroy phones and dispose of trash from their hotel room, was carrying large sums of cash on it during their stay in Holland.
Putin's espionage unit has also tried to hack the British police to try to further disrupt the investigation into the poisonings, intelligence officials said.
The identity of the two men accused of attempting to murder Sergei Skripal, a former Russian double agent, with Novichok's neurotoxic agent, on March 4, was also revealed.

Two weeks ago, the Bellingcat website unveiled the demon of Ruslan Boshirov as Colonel Anatoliy Chepiga, a 39-year-old soldier who served in Chechnya and Ukraine.
A former Russian officer told investigative reporters that Chepiga's high ranking had hinted that Novichok's coup had been ordered "at the highest level".
Yesterday, the British site revealed the true identity of his accomplice, Dr. Alexander Mishkin, suspected of being a senior Russian military doctor.
