Aw, man, it has all the hallmarks of a simple assassination training exercise gone tragically wrong.

“German authorities sat on it” refers to the news.

Captain Renault : By the way, last night you evinced an interest in Señor Ugarte.

Victor Laszlo : Yes.

Captain Renault: I believe you have a message for him?

Victor Laszlo: Nothing important, but may I speak to him now?

Major Heinrich Strasser : You would find the conversation a trifle one-sided. Señor Ugarte is dead.

Captain Renault: I am making out the report now. We haven’t quite decided yet whether he committed suicide or died trying to escape.

This article missed the opportunity to roll out the word “defenestration”.

It sounds a bit like one of those all too common Russian accidents where people who develop unpatriotic thoughts then somehow knot their tie too tightly after sipping from a cup of radioactive tea which causes them to pass out at the top of a flight of stone steps, a tumble that may then result in the gun in their pockets going off, dousing them with acid and ending only well they land in a nice soft shallow unmarked grave in the forest about a hundred kilometres away.

Defenestration is normally used for journalists.
Tainted tea or underwear is used for spies.
Somebody is breaking step.

Would it be a diplomatic faux pas to offer to install Foxconn-style nets around Russian embassies? Just wondering…

Just a reminder that DeutscheBank is a private financial institution that is not connected to the German government in any way.

Acute hypopatriotic disorder has to have the weirdest set of presentations: sometimes falling out of windows, sometimes dioxins that aren’t just the usual industrial contaminants, sometimes exotic isotopes, sometimes ‘botched robberies’ where nothing is stolen.

Definitely a baffling disease.
