Михаил Лесин был убит в Вашингтоне офицерами российской госбезопасности, нанятыми российским олигархом, близким к Путину.
Об этом говорится в секретном докладе бывшего сотрудника британской разведки МИ-6 Кристофера Стила, который сейчас изучает ФБР, о чем стало известно изданию Buzzfeed.

Uurijad tuvastasid, et aine oli algselt määritud Skripali koduuksele. Sealt edasi kandus mürki ka nende autosse, kohalikku pubisse ja pingile, kust Skripal ja tema tütar teadvusetult leiti.

French police are stepping up an investigation into the 2012 death of a Russian exile and treating it as a likely “assassination,” The Globe and Mail has learned.

The cause of Alexander Perepilichnyy’s sudden death while jogging outside his home in Surrey, England – just hours after returning from Paris – has never been determined, despite a police investigation and an ongoing coroner’s inquest in the United Kingdom. But the case is one of 14 mysterious deaths of Russian exiles in the U.K. that are getting a harder look after the March 4 poisoning of Sergei Skripal.

What connects Mr. Perepilichnyy’s tale to Mr. Skripal’s are the unrelated but similarly obscure substances found in their systems after police found them in very different places, six years apart.

Mr. Skripal fell ill after coming into contact with Novichok, a nerve agent believed to have been developed in the Soviet Union. The British coroner’s inquest has heard that Mr. Perepilichnyy died with a rare and toxic herb – believed to be gelsemium, which grows only in Asia and is called “heartbreak grass” because ingesting it can trigger a heart attack – in his stomach.

That’s enough evidence to convince many critics of the Kremlin that both attacks were ordered by Moscow.

French police are zeroing in on the possibility that Mr. Perepilichnyy was poisoned during a four-day visit he made to Paris just before he died. A French judicial source told The Globe and Mail this week that the Paris prosecutor’s office was pursuing a case of “criminal conspiracy and assassination” related to his death.

Mr. Perepilichnyy, an affluent businessman, woke up on Nov. 10, 2012, amid the luxurious sheets of Le Bristol, a glittering five-star hotel near the famed Champs-Élysées. He’d stayed there in the company of a 22-year-old Ukrainian model who was not his wife. His credit card bill shows he spent about $3,400 on a two-night stay and another $2,400 on a Prada handbag for his companion.

He was dead by mid-afternoon that day: After returning to Britain, the slightly overweight but otherwise healthy 44-year-old father of two collapsed after lunch while jogging in the gated community in Surrey where he and his family lived.

His death is just one in a string of curious endings to befall critics of the Kremlin living in Britain. Some, such as prominent anti-Putin oligarch Boris Berezovsky, were ruled suicides at the time. Others, such as Mr. Berezovsky’s business partner Badri Patarkatsishvili, were formally declared to have died of natural causes – a heart attack in the case of Mr. Patarkatsishvili.

After the attack on Mr. Skripal, Britain’s counterterrorism police announced they would take another look at all 14 cases, including Mr. Perepilichnyy’s. There’s talk that his body may be exhumed, as well as Mr. Patarkatsishvili’s.

Именно этим рейсов сегодня в Лондон прилетел мой друг Филипп и по его рассказам, при выходе из самолёта всех просили нести сумки достаточно низко, чтобы их могла обнюхать служебная собака. На выходе из зоны выдачи багажа многих пассажиров с этого рейса уводили для досмотра.
