The head of the British Ministry of Internal Affairs, Amber Radd, classified evidence in the case of the death of Russian businessman Alexander Perepilichny, collected by Mi-5 (counterintelligence) and Mi-6 (intelligence). It is reported by The Guardian.
The Rudd explained that the tradition of Mi-5 and Mi-6 public information is a threat to national security.
In accordance with the decision, the judge of the high court London, Justis Cranston, held two meetings in the case: one public, and the other closed.
In March 2017, a three -week investigation of the death of a peeping is scheduled. As noted, in connection with the decision of the RADD, the senior coronet of the county Surrey Richard Travex, who previously dealt with the case, can be removed from the trial - he will be replaced by a coroner or judge of the high court, who have admission to secret data.
The director of the Hermitage Capital Foundation William Browner criticized the decision of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. “The authorities emphasized that there was nothing suspicious of the death of a peasant,” the businessman remarked. “At the same time, they say that documents related to his death are a threat to national security. These two positions are completely incompatible. There is a suspicion that the authorities want to hide the truth.”
On November 10, 2012, a 44-year-old saw was found dead near his mansion in the county of Surrey. Initially, it was reported that a businessman who had good health died during a run . However, in May 2015, at the preliminary hearings in the Korronsky court of Surrey, it was announced that traces were found in the deceased body that could indicate poisoning with rare poison made from the Gelsemium Elegans plant.
Pesphylichny was one of the key witnesses in the case of the “Klyuyev group”, which is suspected of involvement in the crimes in the tax sphere and in the death of a lawyer of the Hermitage Capital Foundation Sergei Magnitsky. It was reported that he provided the Swiss prosecutor’s office and Hermitage Capital documents of companies, accounts, transactions data and other information necessary to start the investigation.
The criminal authority Dmitry Klyuyev is considered one of the main defendants in Magnitsky's Dossier. Pesphylichny became the fourth suddenly dead man associated with the case of the “Klyuyev group”.
In September 2015, at the hearing in the Korron Court, Hermitage Capital’s lawyer Jeffrey Robertson spent a parallel between the deaths of the former FSB officer Alexander Litvinenko.
