A Russian exile who was close friends with the late oligarch Boris Berezovsky has been found dead in his London home, according to friends.
Nikolai Glushkov, 68, was discovered by his family and friends late on Monday night. The cause of death is not yet clear. One of his friends, the newspaper editor Damian Kudryavtsev, posted the news on his Facebook page.
Without confirming the mans name, the Metropolitan police said the counter-terrorism command unit was leading the investigation into the death as a precaution because of associations that the man is believed to have had.

That said, I hope the investigation and the autopsy are very thorough.

(6,288 posts)3. And UK can no longer count on the US to assist in stopping Putin
The US was their & other smaller nations, biggest ally against the reign of the Moscow Organized Crime Network.
Trump is curbing the US's ability to step in as we once did. He will not make a move to stop Putin.
Putin needed to kneecap the largest force in the ally world to make his way freely throughout the world terrorizing nations.
Putin cannot be stopped until Trump is stopped & we return our govt to its world power for its allies.
This is so serious I cannot imagine the damage if it continues even 6 months from now.
