New developments

Since we received the new information from the alleged eye-witness to the incident in which "Viktor" apparently lost his life we have been re-examining every shred of evidence in order to know whether there is any truth to his story. We have been surprised at how much help his testimony (which, incidentally, we cannot make public until we have had time to verify it and determine what its impact on world politics would be) explains the little details that we hadn't quite wrapped up. None of the details by themselves led us to suspect anything other than that the crime scene may have been disturbed, but the new evidence sheds light, for instance, on why there were only three strands of "Viktor's" hair in the folding chair when we expected to find at least five based on our reconstruction of the scene.

Regardless of the details our lawyers have asked us not to discuss, we are thinking that we will have to revise our declaration that "Viktor" is believed to be dead to be a little less certain. We are now stating that "Viktor" is believed to be either dead or to have faked his own death so that he could carry on with some presumably noble cause we are not allowed to know about.
