Marina Litvinenko, widow of former Russian spy poisoned with polonium in 2006, continues its desperate struggle for the truth. She went to a new hearing of the public inquiry being held behind closed doors in London.
A public inquiry that allows you to hear members of the secret services, examine confidential documents and pinpoint responsibility for Moscow.
Three weeks before his death, Litvinenko drank tea at the Millennium Hotel in London, with two other former Russian agent Andrei Lugovoi, now MP and businessman Dmitry Kovtun. Polonium-210, a highly toxic radioactive substance and virtually undetectable, was in the tea.
In a letter dictated on his deathbed, Litvinenko accused President Vladimir Putin of ordering his murder. Last week, we learned that the US Security Agency (NSA) had intercepted communications between people suspected of involvement in the poisoning and their leader in Moscow, shortly after the death of Litvinenko.
The Kremlin refuses to extradite the two main suspects, has always denied this accusation.
