The Russians seem to do what they like. Theyre probably worse now than they were during the cold war.

So was he due to appear at the Litvinenko inquest at all?

Is this the getaway car thread?

Crossing them does certainly appear to be unwise.

Not sure what happened or how..

Let's hope it's just a case of an old(ish) man expiring naturally.

Apparently found in the bath so possible suicide. Putin did try to get him extrodited and face a 'trial' of some sort.

Wouldn't be suprised if he or the Kremlin had a hand in it

[Wills2]

He had some powerful enemies and the trial had hit his finances hard so I read, he was also paranoid about security.

Thing is if it was a professional job, could they tell?

[Kudos]

I'm sure he had good security/CCTV, so if someone came in and bumped him off they'd know

According to C4 news he was. Also, the media knew he was dead before Scotland Yard!

[Dixie68]

"Suicide"



Only kidding!

[birdcage]

Having Putin and Abramovitch as enemies must be terrific fun

[Mermaid]

Is this a sign to the EU/Cypriot ministers deciding the fate of Russian deposits at Cypriot Banks

[Zod]

Chances of this being a natural death are remote. The chances of anyone being brought to justice for the murder are equally remote.

He was a nasty, corrupt little man, killed on the orders of other nasty, corrupt little men.

I shed no tears, but don't condone it.
