Interpol comes down to Litvinenko's case

Timur Lakhonin, head of the Russian Interpol Bureau, has reported that this organization is now engaged in the inquiry into Litvinenko's case. "Indeed, interaction by Interpol channels has already started, since several countries have attitude to this case (Litvinenko's case)," the RIA "Novosti" quotes him.

Timur Lakhonin also hopes that in the near future Akhmed Zakaev, emissary of Chechen separatists, will be detained and deported to Russia.

Meanwhile, businessman Andrei Lugovoj has refuted information of a number of western media that today he was again interrogated on the case related to Litvinenko's death.

Litvinenko died in the evening of November 23 at the hospital of the London University College. Specialists of the British Health Care Agency found traces of radioactive element polonium-210 in his body.
