Russian experts have not yet been able to determine the origin of radioactive polonium, which was poisoned in London, ex-commissioned officer of the FSB, Alexander Litvinenko. This was stated in an interview with Izvestia, the head of the Investigative Committee under the Russian Prosecutor's Office, Alexander Bastrykin.
“Russian experts investigating this business did not have enough sensitive equipment. Imagine it had to be purchased in the UK,” he said. “And the first stage of the study showed that Polonia did not have identification signs.”
Bastrykin assured that "there is no policy of Litvinenko’s case."
He also noted that Germany and Great Britain are in no hurry to provide materials requested by Russian investigators: Polonium samples found in a Hamburg apartment, where there was one of the defendants in the case Dmitry Kovtun, as well as a medical report on the causes of Litvinenko’s death.
In addition, Bastrykin said that the “polonium trace”, allegedly left in Russia, Germany and Britain Kovtun and Andrei Lugov, “is constantly interrupted”. “If they carried Polonia, he would be everywhere,” Bastrykin said.
The British prosecutor’s office accuses Lugovoi of the murder of Litvinenko and requires his extradition from Russia. Litvinenko himself states that he is innocent. The Russian authorities refuse to issue it, referring to the constitutional ban on the extradition of Russian citizens.
Russian President Vladimir Putin last week said that Great Britain did not provide Russia with evidence of any illegal activity of the meadow. If there are such evidence, Putin promised to hold him accountable.
