The Story

A man dies in a London hospital on the 23rd of November, 2006. He has just been ill for 3 weeks and his health had deteriorated rapidly. This man was a former officer of the secret police of Russia. His death was not natural, since it becomes clear that he had been poisoned by a radioactive substance. It was highly likely that the murder had been ordered or approved by the president of Russia, Vladimir Putin.
