Tycoon Boris Berezovsky is sure he will not be exchanged for those involved in the Litvinenko case Andrei Lugovoi and Dmitry Kovtun. He made the statement in an interview to Ekho Moskvy Radio. “The British legislation does not give an opportunity of exchange,” he said. “British authorities do everything only officially. The British cannot settle the issue under the table.”

Earlier, Member of the Russian State Duma Security Committee Gennady Gudkov supposed that such exchange could take place. He said that Moscow was hindering second questioning of Kovtun and Lugovoi by Scotland Yard officers in order to have Boris Berezovsky, Akhmed Zakayev and other prominent political emigrants.

On December 6, The Independent reported about a new turn in the Litvinenko case. Information was released that investigators were examining a theory on two attempts to poison Litvinenko. As REGNUM reported earlier, Russian ex-KGB officer Alexander Litvinenko died in a London hospital in the night of November 24.
