German prosecutors have dropped all charges of illegally trafficking nuclear materials against Dmitry Kovtun, who was linked to the murder of former Russian security officer Aleksander Litvinenko in London in 2006.
According to Russia's Prosecutor General, Yury Chayka, Russian prosecutors haven’t yet received official word from British authorities over what they believe caused the death of former Russian security officer, Aleksandr Litvinenko.
Russia's Foreign Ministry has confirmed it has received a request from the British authorities to extradite Russian businessman Andrey Lugovoy, suspected of poisoning former security officer Aleksandr Litvinenko.
The Russian Prosecutor General's Office has said it is not considering extraditing Andrey Lugovoy to Britain in exchange for Boris Berezovsky. The authorities of both countries have said such an exchange is forbidden by their laws.
As Andrey Lugovoy accuses British secret services of being linked to the death of Aleksandr Litvinenko, the Russian authorities make a statement concerning a “Chechen trace” in the Litvinenko case.
The widow of poisoned former Russian security officer Aleksandr Litvinenko has denied he worked for the British intelligence service MI6, a claim made by Russian businessman Andrey Lugovoy in Moscow last week.
The Litvinenko case could become one of the sideline issues at the G8 summit. British Prime Minister Tony Blair has said he will have to raise the subject when he meets with the Russian delegation.
