I heard on the news two days ago that the British have decided to re-open the case concerning their investigation of the assassination of a man who claimed Putin had him murdered. I will try to find the news story that Steve Malzberg was reporting from but in the meanwhile here is the story that ran a few months ago and now they have decided to re-open the case. The world should know what a cold blooded murderer Putin is.
Brits Investigate Assassination of the Spy Who Warned Us About Putin - The Daily Beast
LONDON — Vladimir Putin thought he’d got away with murder. At least that was the conclusion of diplomats and security officials for eight years as Britain ignored demands for an inquiry into the assassination of a former KGB officer in Central London.
Alexander Litvinenko had angered the Kremlin with repeated claims that Putin was running a thuggish and brutal regime. He sought refuge in Britain and was granted asylum, but local police were powerless to prevent his assassination. He was struck down inside an upmarket London hotel by a rare radioactive poison that had been slipped in to his pot of tea.
and then 3 days ago, January 27,2015, this story comes out:
Ex-KGB spy Litvinenko told UK police Putin ordered his death Reuters
Tam read a transcript of an interview Litvinenko gave detectives while on his death bed in which he said: "I have no doubt whatsoever this was done by the Russian secret service.
"Having knowledge of the system, I know that the order about such a killing of a citizen of another country on its territory, especially if it's something to with Great Britain, could have been given by only one person.
"That person is the president of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin."
The Kremlin has always denied involvement, as have Lugovoy and Kovtun, the main suspects, whom Russia has refused to extradite.
CHANGE OF MIND
In a passionate opening speech, Ben Emmerson, the lawyer for Litvinenko's widow Marina, also blamed Putin. He said all the evidence pointed to the president ordering the killing to cover up close links between his administration and the Russian mafia, which the inquiry would expose.
