Litvinenko handed over files on Yukos case to Nevzlin before death

Read it in Russian

Yukos ex-owner Leonid Nevzlin can be involved in poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko, Russian Prosecutor General’s Office says. As the prosecution believes, there too many facts pointing to the fact that contractors of murder of the former KGB officer could be the same people, who tried to poison Yukos ex-employee Dmitry Kovtun.

Nevzlin is put on international wanted list on charges of murder and financial fraud. Since 2003, he has lived in Israel. Russia has been seeking for his extradition.

In late November, Nevzlin told The Times that not long before his death Alexander Litvinenko handed over files to him that “shed the light on most important aspects of the Yukos case.” Nevzlin promised to pass the dossier collected by the ex-FSB officer to Scotland Yard officers.
