Another Dead Russian in the UK: Berezovsky’s Ally’s Body Found by New Scotland Yard
Anti-terror police are involved in the case of Nikolay Glushkov, former Berezovsky's ally. The body of a 68-year-old businessman was discovered on Monday in London, where he'd lived since 2010. Police called his death inexplicable.
Aleksandr Khabarov reports with the details.
There's barely any information, nothing on the circumstances of his death. They simply call it inexplicable. But, according to a reliable source, there are signs of foul play. Perhaps, it was strangulation or some other kind of murder, we don't know yet. I remind you that New Scotland Yard doesn't make any official statements yet. However, the fact that anti-terror London police is on it, instead of regular detectives, says a lot.
According to New Scotland Yard, Glushkov's death isn't connected to the Salisbury poisoning. The investigation measures with the anti-terror police were taken due to Glushkov's social circle. Let me remind you that Glushkov's social circle includes Berezovsky, first of all. As we know, Berezovsky was found dead in 2013 in a house near London. Glushkov was one of those, who didn't believe that Berezovsky had committed suicide.
So, what happened to Glushkov now? The last time we spoke was last year after his judgment by default in Moscow. He hasn't mentioned anything about any threats that he may have received. He was in bad health, which was why the London hearing for Aeroflot's lawsuit for $122,000,000 towards Berezovsky, Glushkov, and the Forus Group was moved several times. What's interesting is that the court hearing was supposed to be on Monday, but Glushkov failed to appear without any reason. As we see now, the reason was that he had died.
