Russia - Moscow Speculates that Israeli Citizen Might be Behind Poisoning of Russian Spy Agent
Russia - Moscow claims an anti-Kremlin businessman living in Israel could be behind the radiation poisoning of Russian agent Alexander Litvinenko.
The prosecutor general said it had found links between the fatal poisoning of Litvinenko in November and Leonid Nevzlin, a former executive in the Yukos oil company who fled criminal charges in Russia and is now an Israeli citizen.
Without providing details, or explanation, the prosecutor general said that traces of mercury had been found in Moscow and London and that this indicated a link to Nevzlin, who has been accused of using mercury in an alleged 2001 murder attempt against his business partner. “We are checking out a version in which those who ordered this crime could be the same people who are now on international arrest warrants…, one of whom is deputy Yukos chairman Leonid Nevzlin,” the prosecutor said in a statement.
