Lugovoi’s sensational news was sensational– and unexpected. Basically Lugovoi is claiming Litvinenko was a British spy (which would probably make Berezovsky a MI6 contact as well). Alexander Litvinenko, the former Russian agent murdered in London last year, was working for British intelligence at the time, the man charged by Britain with his murder alleged on […]

Major Update: The Independent article on Berezovsky’s latest claims is finally accessible, and there are some really interesting details regarding how close Lugovoi and Berezovsky were – giving some strange credence to Lugovoi’s claims about Berezovsky and Litvinenko: Mr Berezovsky shed light on his relationship with the former FSB agent Andrei Lugovoy just before the […]

It looks like Thursday will be a big newsday for those of us following the Litvinenko story. That is the day Andre Lugovoi, the man Britain wants to charge with Litvenko’s murder, is going to hold a press conference to expose new aspects of this case – most likely implcating Boris Berezovsky in Litvinenko’s death, […]

Major Update:: It seems that the investigation into the Litvinenko case is not shut down and the Lugovoi angle is not the only scenarion being investigated: A source close to the investigation said Wednesday that a version involving Leonid Nevzlin, a core shareholder of bankrupt oil company Yukos, in the death of the former secret […]

Berezovsky has been apparently sending messages to his old family bodyguard – Andre Lugovoi – that he needs to stay quiet or else. This is not the first time Berezovsky has sent a message to Lugovoi his life was in danger. When Litvinenko died and Berezovsky’s PR machine ramped up he and his messengers (Alex […]

We now have a huge hole in the UK case against Lugovoi, IF (and this is a big ‘if’) media reports are accurate. The UK media has been force fitting evidence to their pet “Putin ordered the killing” theory for so long they have forgot to sanity check the their theories. So let’s do it […]

I am in a rare mood of unbridled anticipation as the Litvinenko story is about to take a big, big turn. With the news this week that UK authorities had decided to charge Andre Lugovoi with premeditated murder by use of Po-210 (a crazy idea all around) I thought we would have to wait until […]

Finally some movement in the Litvinenko case. The prosecutors in London have decided to charge Andrei Lugovoi for deliberate murder: An ex-KGB agent is to be charged in connection with the murder of poisoned former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko, the Crown Prosecution Service said. A warrant has been issued for the arrest of Moscow-based Andrei […]

A peculiar rumour went flying through the British newspapers over the weekend involving the now dormant case of Alexander Litvinenko (for my posts on the matter and my theory of what happened with the Polonium 210 last October jump here). The rumour was that someone in the British government had asked the prosecutors to not […]

The key to discovering what happened last October when apparently three shipments of Po-210 – a highly dangerous alpha-emitter of radiation – is to look at the physical trail and how much contamination was at each location. Some areas were barely touched like The Arsenal Stadium at which Lugovoi and Kovtun watched the matche between […]
