Litvinenko's relatives make conditions to meet investigators from Russia

The relatives and friends of Alexander Litvinenko who live in Great Britain are ready to meet the investigators of the Russian Prosecutor-General's Office, but only provided their safety is guaranteed. This was stated by Alexander Goldfarb, one of Litvinenko's friends.

Besides, it has become known that Akhmed Zakaev, minister of foreign affairs of the non-recognized Ichkeria who lives in London, is ready to meet the Prosecutor-General's Office investigators engaged into consideration of Litvinenko's assassination and "answer all their questions," the "Gazeta.Ru" reports.

Besides, the German prosecutor's office started an investigation in relation to Dmitri Kovtun, in whose apartment in Hamburg traces of polonium-210 had been found and who is suspected of poisoning Mr. Litvinenko.

Martin Kenke, head of Hamburg prosecutor's office, told at the press conference that "there are grounds to suspect that he (Mr. Kovtun, - the Gazeta.Ru) is not just a victim, but also an evil-doer," the Reuters informs.
