Potential Litvinenko case witness released from jail
A former KGB agent, who claims he warned Kremlin foe Alexander Litvinenko he was being hunted by a government hit squad, was released from prison today, one of his lawyers said.
Mikhail Trepashkin, who investigated allegations that the Federal Security Service, the KGB’s main successor agency, was involved in a series of 1999 apartment house bombings, walked out of the prison in Nizhny Tagil about 900 miles east of Moscow, lawyer Sergei Kuznetsov told The Associated Press.
