Lugovoy Recommends Limonov, Kasyanov to Reinforce Guards
Eduard Limonov, Mikhail Kasyanov and other opposition leaders are potential victims of Boris Berezovsky, said Andrey Lugovoy, whom Britain suspects in murdering Russian ex-agent Alexander Litvinenko by radioactive polonium last November and whose extradition is strongly demanded. Berezovsky was behind Litvinenko’s murder, Lugovoy reiterated in the interview to Komsomolskaya Pravda.
Asked about potential victims of Berezovsky, Lugovoy said that it could be ”anyone with the halo of fighter against Russia’s authorities, the so-called sacred victim. The so-called opposition candidates to future presidents, for instance. They have to hire guards large-scale for sure. Eduard Limonov, Mikhail Kasyanov… I think something is being orchestrated against them.”
Moreover, Lugovoy supposed that exactly Berezovsky had planned an attempted murder of former Kremlin-pool journalist Elena Tregubova, who has recently addressed Britain for political asylum.
According to Lugovy, Berezovsky requested him to arrange guards for Tregubova. Politkovskaya, who used to criticize the authorities, was killed, but Tregubova is also critical of the Kremlin, Berezovsky said in response to Lugovoy’s question about the reasons of Tregubova’s protection.
”I think he was staging serious provocation against her. And the suspicion would have fallen on me,” Lugovy explained.
