Russian who met with former spy denies involvement in his death
A Russian man who met with Alexander Litvinenko on the day that the former KGB spy believed he was poisoned today said he had been questioned by British officials in Moscow, and again denied any involvement in his death.
Litvinenko’s death last night in a London hospital has sparked a minor firestorm, with Litvinenko – who worked for the KGB and one of its successor agencies – implicating Russian President Vladimir Putin in a signed statement shortly before he lost consciousness on Tuesday.
