Lugovoy charged with Litvinenko murger

the CPS held a press conference this morning and brought out their top man to make the statement.

very intriguing case, and no doubt being made into a full length film as we speak!!

LONDON (Reuters) - British prosecutors will charge ex-KGB agent Andrei Lugovoy with the murder of former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko, who died in London last year after being poisoned with radioactive polonium.
The Crown Prosecution Service said in a statement on Tuesday there was enough evidence to charge Lugovoy and seek his extradition over the death of Litvinenko, who died an agonising death over several weeks after being poisoned with Polonium 210.
"I have today concluded that the evidence sent to us by the police is sufficient to charge Andrei Lugovoy with the murder of Mr Litvinenko by deliberate poisoning," CPS head Ken Macdonald said.
The murkiest case of murder and espionage since the Cold War has strained relations between Britain and Moscow, and Tuesday's announcement threatened to aggravate tensions further.
While the CPS said it would seek Lugovoy's extradition Russia's constitution does not allow for the extradition of its citizens.
In a letter dictated on his hospital deathbed, Litvinenko, who had acquired British citizenship weeks before he was poisoned, accused the Kremlin and Russian President Vladimir Putin of his murder.
Moscow dismissed the charge as ridiculous. It has launched its own investigation into Litvinenko's death and denies that its security services played any part.
Litvinenko met Lugovoy and another Russian businessman, Dmitry Kovtun in the Pine Bar of London's Millennium Hotel on November 1 last year, and within hours had fallen seriously ill. He died in a London hospital on November 23.
Lugovoy, a former KGB bodyguard who later worked as head of security for tycoon Boris Berezovsky, has previously laughed off reports that Britain would seek his extradition. He has denied killing Litvinenko and lashed out at British media for demonising him.

Is there any real point ?

The Russian government have already stated that there is no chance whatsoever that he'll be extradited to the UK - so the only real 'punishment' that he will suffer is that he'll be unable to return to this country in the future.

Now if there was a chance that 'we' could send in an SAS 'snatch squad' to bring him out then that would be a different matter. However, the chances of that happening, especially as Russia seem to hold most of the cards when it comes to Natural Gas supplies these days, are virtually nil.
