Scotland Yard inspectors may return to Moscow to talk to Lugovoj and Kovtun

Early next year, inspectors of the British Scotland Yard will probably visit Moscow again under investigation of the case of poisoning Alexander Litvinenko, former FSB employee, the "Interfax" reports, referring to informed sources in Moscow. This possibility was discussed by representatives of law enforcement bodies of Russian Federation and Great Britain after the visit of London detectives on December 4-18 this year.

"The British inspectors have let us know that they may have new questions to the main witnesses in "Litvinenko's case" - businessmen Andrei Lugovoj and Dmitri Kovtun," the source noted. According to sources of "Interfax," Kovtun and Lugovoj will stay for a long time in one of closed Moscow hospitals, where they take their therapy from radioactive infection. The source could not exclude that during the investigation, medical aspects may interest the Scotland Yard people.
