What About The Poisoned Russian Spy?
«

Saturday, a Russian ex-spy
Alexander Litvinenko
died in London from being poisoned. Mr. Litvinenko's death has been linked to the presence of a "major dose" of radioactive polonium-210 in his body.
Police have been examining two meetings Mr. Litvinenko had on 1 November - one at a London hotel with a former KGB agent and another man, and a rendezvous with an Italian security consultant at the sushi restaurant in the West End. Mr. Litvinenko, who was granted asylum in the UK in 2000 after complaining of persecution in Russia, fell ill later that day.
Friends have said Mr. Litvinenko was poisoned because of his criticism of Russia. He had recently been investigating the murder of his friend, Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya, another critic of the Putin government.
A comment from another board - "It can't be random if Politkovskaya has been shot few times in the head, and Litvinenko gets poisoned when rumours say that he knows the killer of Politkovskaya."
Apparently Litvinenko dictated a letter to a friend of his on 21/11, that is, two days before he died. He seemed pretty confident in his belief of who was behind his radiation poisoning. He accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of involvement in his death. The statement dictated before he died was taken at University College Hospital on Thursday.
This what the statement said:
I would like to thank many people. My doctors, nurses and hospital staff who are doing all they can for me, the British police who are pursuing my case with vigour and professionalism and are watching over me and my family.
I would like to thank the British government for taking me under their care. I am honoured to be a British citizen.
I would like to thank the British public for their messages of support and for the interest they have shown in my plight.
I thank my wife Marina, who has stood by me. My love for her and our son knows no bounds.
But as I lie here I can distinctly hear the beating of wings of the angel of death.
I may be able to give him the slip but I have to say my legs do not run as fast as I would like.
I think, therefore, that this may be the time to say one or two things to the person responsible for my present condition.
You may succeed in silencing me but that silence comes at a price. You have shown yourself to be as barbaric and ruthless as your most hostile critics have claimed.
You have shown yourself to have no respect for life, liberty or any civilised value.
You have shown yourself to be unworthy of your office, to be unworthy of the trust of civilised men and women.
You may succeed in silencing one man but the howl of protest from around the world will reverberate, Mr Putin, in your ears for the rest of your life.
May God forgive you for what you have done, not only to me but to beloved Russia and its people.

What an eloquent statement. I hope Scotland Yard can follow the trail wherever it leads, to whomever is ultimately responsible.
Russia is still such a place of danger and intrigue.

Another possible Russian poisoning.
"Doctors treating former Russian Prime Minister Yegor Gaidar, who fell ill in Ireland last week, believe he was poisoned, an aide said Thursday."

There is a related precursor event to all of this, prior to Anna Politkovskaya.
The trial for this murder was earlier this year and resulted in the conviction of someone quite far removed as a hitman. Abramovich is quite close to Putin as well.

Five Convicted in Brutal Murder of Russian Journalist Anna Politkovskaya
First published May 20th 2014, 7:42 pm
By M. Alex Johnson
Five men were convicted Tuesday in Moscow in the 2006 execution-style murder of Russian investigative journalist Anna Politkovskaya, Russian state media reported.
snip
The murder raised worldwide questions about freedom of speech and of the press under Russian President Vladimir Putin — especially after three of the defendants were initially acquitted in 2009. The Supreme Court overturned those acquittals and ordered a new trial.
A jury in Moscow City Court returned guilty verdicts Tuesday against three Chechen brothers — Rustam, Ibragim and Dzhabrail Makhmudov — Lom-Ali Gaitukayev, their uncle, and Sergei Khadzhikurbanov, a former Moscow police officer, the Russian news agencies Izvestia and Itar-Tass reported. It found Gaitukayev guilty of planning and organizing the murder.
Khadzhikurbanov and two of the Makhmudov brothers, Ibragim and Dzhabrail, were acquitted in the 2009 trial.
A sentencing hearing was set for Wednesday, at which prosecutors are expected to seek life in prison, the news agency RIA-Novosti reported.
The men's lawyers said they would appeal.

Thank you for the update Nut. Some of these cases take so long from the time the crime is committed until they are brought to trial.
