Litvinenko' widow is "to cash in on a tragedy"? · 2007-11-22 12:53
The widow of Alexander Litvinenko, a former FSB officer and Kremlin critic poisoned in London last year, is to sue the Russian government at the European Court of Human Rights.
Marina Litvinenko is seeking to force Moscow to accept responsibility for her husband's death, as well as pay compensation, the Financial Times said.
The paper said Marina Litvinenko is expected to confirm that she is going ahead with her long-threatened legal action at a high-profile media event in London this week to mark the first anniversary of Alexander Litvinenko's death.
Marina Litvinenko's lawyers are likely to argue that the lethal polonium 210 used to poison her husband could have only been obtained by a state-sponsored group. They are expected to try and prove that that state was Russia, RIA Novosti reports.
Andrei Lugovoi, an ex-Kremlin bodyguard who London accuses of poisoning Alexander Litvinenko, said that by taking action against Russia, Marina Litvinenko was not seeking to establish the truth, but to cash in on a tragedy.
