Scotland Yard is almost ready to disclose the killers of Litvinenko

The British investigators have come close to naming the suspects of murdering the former Russia's FSB officer Alexander Litvinenko, the NEWSru has informed today with reference to the British The Independent newspaper.

It has already been informed that the British police agents are actively developing the version that Litvinenko had been poisoned with a polonium-210 isotope several days before it was considered earlier. The results of the toxicological examination held in the course of Litvinenko's body autopsy have revealed that he had been poisoned with two dozes of polonium-210. Outgoing from this fact, the Scotland Yard inspectors are inclined to assume that Litvinenko was poisoned twice, and the repeated poisoning had taken place in one of hotels in the centre of London some days after the first attempt.

The "Litvinenko's case" investigation held by the British police is focusing on businessmen Andrei Lugovoj and Dmitri Kovtun, former officers of power agencies.

However, it is highly probable that those involved in poisoning Litvinenko will manage to escape punishment. The message of the "Echo Moskvy" states that the British police treats the chances of the potential murderers of the ex-FSB officer Alexander Litvinenko will ever face justice at the Central Criminal Court of London to be "insignificant or absolutely zero."

Meanwhile, the well-known businessman Boris Berezovskiy is confident that the British authorities will not give him out to Russia in exchange for Lugovoj and Kovtun. He told this in his interview to the "Echo Moskvy," the NEWSru reports.

"The English legislation does not stipulate any possibility for such exchange," Mr. Berezovskiy has noted. "The English authorities are doing everything only in the official way. Englishmen cannot 'settle deals under the table'."
