Ex-spy accused of Litvinenko murder
LONDON - Moscow authorities said they would refuse to hand over the man accused of murdering Alexander Litvinenko in London last November, which has thrown Russia's relations with Britain into crisis.
Andrei Lugovoy, who met Mr Litvinenko on the day he waspoisoned, has denied murder, claiming that the accusations are politically motivated.
"I did not kill Litvinenko, I have no relation to his death and I can only express well-founded distrust for the so-called basis of proof collected by British judicial officials," he said.
