The Polonium plot: Feature documentary

it was supposed to be the perfect crime the victim alexander litvinenko a russian dissident former secret service agent and relentless critic of vladimir putin the alleged murderers dmitry koften and andre lugavoy also former russian secret service agents then working as private investigators in russia and europe the attack would take place november 1st 2006 at the millennium hotel on grosvenor square in london in the reception area there is a security camera that records images 24 hours a day that camera recorded these recently released videos of the alleged killers lugovoy and koftoon at the reception desk on november 1st the two men entered the pine bar off the hotel lobby at about 3 20 pm they ordered three cups of tea and also a couple of gin and tonics the evidence shows that they poured two cups of tea for themselves then added poison into the teapot a small amount of highly radioactive polonium-210 a security camera caught this image of andre lucavoy at 3 33 on his way to the washroom notice his left hand is concealed in his jacket pocket koftoon took his turn at 3 48. one or both of them left traces of radioactivity on the door as they entered the washroom and then again as they washed their hands and used the hand dryer meanwhile alexander litvinenko was making his way to the hotel this security camera photo shows him coming up the street at 3 44 p.m he entered the hotel lobby at precisely four o'clock his image recorded by the reception desk camera litvinenko later told police that he only took two or three sips of the tea which he found tasted quite bitter weeks later police would discover a high amount of radiation contamination in the teapot especially concentrated in the spout polonium is a slow-acting but deadly poison lift financial would not feel the effects on the drive home he became violently ill shortly after midnight that night but would suffer 23 days of agony in hospital before he finally died he identified lugovoy kovtun and others who might have poisoned him but made clear in this police interview that only one man in russia was ultimately to blame having knowledge of this system i know that this order about such a killing of a citizen of another country on its territory especially if it's something to do with great britain could have been given only by one person would you like to tell us who that person is that person is the president of the russian federation vladimir putin alexander litvinenko died at 9 21 pm on november 23 2006 litvinenko's accusation against putin was made public on the day he died the russian leader instantly denied it and even suggested there was no evidence that litvinenko had in fact been murdered foreign the poisoning of alexander litvinenko at this london hotel in 2006 set off a political earthquake that first shook uk russian diplomatic relations and eventually relations between vladimir putin and the entire western world the full details of the police investigation are only now being released at a public inquiry here that inquiry is moving relentlessly towards an indictment of the russian government but the question is continually asked why would vladimir putin or anyone around him decide to target this low-ranking political dissident why alexander litvinenko and this picture he's about 18 years old marina litvinenko was married to alexander whom she called sasha sasha's grandparents parents his grandfather litvinenko joined up with the kgb when he was only a teenager marina met and married him in 1994 when they were both in their early 30s she was a little taken aback to find out that he was in the russian secret service then called the fsb when i saw sasha i said he didn't look like an officer of any security service at all he was just very slim very young looking he was very shy and for me his personality was more important for actually what he did i was very proud of him luke harding is covering the lip financial inquiry for the guardian newspaper he lived for years in russia and wrote a book called mafia state alexander livanienko was a career officer in russian intelligence he began working for the fsb uh in the 90s and his specialism was organized crime sort of mafia the russian mafia and so he was involved with that quite heavily and in the mid 1990s um something extraordinary happened there was an attempt to murder boris bosovsky who at this point was a kind of key player in boris yeltsin's kind of court a kind of grey eminence who pulled the strings behind the scenes and livenyenko was tasked to investigate who tried to kill berezovsky and they became friends someone had exploded a bomb beside boris berezovsky's car killing his driver and a bodyguard berezovsky escaped and during the investigation varazovsky came to trust lupinenko and considered him almost a bodyguard berezowski had many enemies especially in the fsb secret police and one day litvinenko was asked by his superiors to help kill berezovsky he walked over to me and said do you know berezovsky i said i did then you have to kill him i just i remained silent and pointed at the walls since many of the officers were bugged he just leaned forward like this and said you must kill berezovsky you must do it litvinenko refused and revealed the plot to bear zoske and to marina when i heard this first time i couldn't believe because it was just like a nonsense who might have idea to kill berisovsky and for what reasons and berezovsky couldn't believe himself in july 1998 berezowski convinced president yeltsin to clean house of the fsb and appoint a friend of his to be the new secret police head vladimir putin he also set up a meeting between putin and litvinenko to talk about corruption inside the organization i gave him my report and he looked at the chart but refused to take it he also asked for my home phone number i asked him what it was for he said i'll call you a few days later an fsb friend laughed at me yeah your shoe went to the right guy putin they just laughed at you and took your phone number so i said how do you know that and he said putin ordered us to bug your phone alex goldfarb was a long time friend of alexander litvinenko and a co-author with his widow of the book death of a dissident putin was just appointed over this colossal agency with many people much higher than his former rank now reporting to him and his success as a new director dependent not so much on political support than by the acceptance and confidence of the kgb generals so he was buying for their acceptance and approval and when this maverick officer came up with his allegations of corruption it was quite natural in reuters in retrospect that putin would not be happy with lithium litvinenko decided to go public with his corruption allegations at this remarkable televised press conference in moscow several colleagues some masked to protect their identity also supported litvinenko's claim that senior policemen were now secretly murdering their own political enemies putin doesn't like people who kind of talk publicly about secret operations about about operational plots and so on and i think he was incensed by what had happened and very quickly the authorities started moving against living yanko himself and he found himself in all kinds of trouble he was an honest cop who had from childhood some illusions about what the right thing and what's the wrong thing he was very black and white he didn't see nuances and he tried to maneuver himself within the situation of big politics where uh very uh powerful and resourceful forces were rashing each other and he always was caught in between somehow litvinenko was soon arrested and charged with all sorts of crimes based on manufactured accusations he had no doubt that vladimir putin was orchestrating the charade under the kgb code you don't talk about operational matters in public to do so is to break the code if you break the code you're a traitor and if you're a traitor then you have to be punished litvinenko was not convicted of the charges but he and boris verozzowski decided it wasn't safe for them to remain in russia they both made plans to escape litvinenko convinced his wife to take their son on a quick vacation to spain he secretly left the country separately and only then revealed to her his plan to defect to the west he said we might be not going back to russia and i said no way where are we going to what we're going to do he told me marina they definitely will arrest me they definitely will do something wrong against you or our son nobody will save you nobody will support us what you will decide i say of course i will decide to save our family litvinenko along with his wife and son anatoly were accepted as political refugees in the united kingdom boris berezovsky rented them a house in london and they started building a new life litvinenko planned to become a private investigator and security consultant he was also working clandestinely for british intelligence after living in moved to london in 2000 he he maintained contact with a whole load of people in russia they were people who gave him information information that he would pass to british intelligence to mi6 and information that he would try and sell to to kind of risk companies in london who were doing due diligence on russia on people trying to invest in russia back home in russia litvinenko had now become a kind of traitor poster boy for vladimir putin's secret police they used his photograph for target practice it was an ominous signal of what was to come a key event in the lit financial story occurred in 1999 there was a series of enormous explosions which leveled some moscow apartment blocks almost 300 people were killed and the police blamed chechen separatists for the crime there was disturbing evidence however that the fsb secret police might be involved some fsb officers were caught red-handed placing explosives into apartment building basements they later tried to claim it was a training exercise alexander lipanenko was incensed about the story and wrote a book called blowing up russia blowing up russia basically alleged that the fsb putin's spy agency had secretly blown up um apartment blocks in moscow and other russian cities in 1999 essentially as a pretext to start a new war in chechnya um and that's exactly what happened there was a second chechen war and on the back of this kind of patriotic um feeling which sort of swept across the nation vladimir putin won the presidential election and won a massive majority in may 2000 and so this was a kind of foundational moment for the putin regime and and then we have liv nienko sitting in london saying actually it was all of a cynical plot basically in which almost 300 people were murdered to bring putin to power he actually was the one who convinced me that i was skeptical because it's totally outlandish to think that your own security services would blow up your own citizens in their sleep in such numbers and lithuania said oh come on we have guys who could you know kill their own mother who are simply pathological killers the russian parliament the duma proceeded with an official investigation of the apartment bombings sergey yushenkov a member of that investigation commission was assassinated in april 2003 another member yuri shaco chicken was murdered in july 2003 a third member otto lazis was assaulted in november 2003 then died in a mysterious car accident two years later the russian-american journalist and author masha gassen was living and working in moscow in the aftermath of the apartment bombings basically the the people who had been in any way involved with the investigation and this included parliament members and journalists and um and television journalists whether out of the country or facing threats and danger over the course of the following five or six years all of the ones who ended up in russia who stayed in russia or lithuania who left the country were dead and and the country that that story has never been fully investigated the story has never uh we never got the answers and i don't i doubt we ever will uh lithuanian's book was the the best effort to put the story together in a systematic manner and i found it very compelling and very important litvinenko formed a strong friendship with the crusading russian investigative journalist anna politkovskaya who also wrote about the russian apartment bombings and was also severely critical of the putin regime politkovskaya was first poisoned to warn her off her journalism she survived but shortly afterwards was shot to death in the stairway at her moscow apartment building when we received this news about his death i remember how sasha was shocked he felt like he couldn't protect her of course he couldn't protect her but he tried to tell her how it's dangerous it's better for her to to live somewhere else but not in moscow because she was a like a target for this regime and when anna was killed it became like reality and only question who is next my name is alexander i am former kgb nfsb officer at the frontline club in london in the aftermath of the politkovskaya killing there was a public meeting of russian dissidents at which alexander litvinenko directly accused vladimir putin of murdering the crusading journalist and i can directly answer you it is mr putin the president of the russian federation who killed her but i think liberienko was deeply affected by polikovska's murder he made a speech at the frontline club in london not only denouncing her killing i mean they were close friends they'd seen each other a lot but also um explicitly blaming vladimir putin saying that putin was responsible and within three weeks we have two alleged assassins from moscow coming to london with a radioactive substance on a mission to kill living inco litvinenko felt very safe in the united kingdom under the protection of the british government yes absolutely he thought that uk is totally safe and not only him but everybody around him myself included told him that now you're safe nothing could happen here nobody would even think about hurting you in the uk uk was considered a fortress which is implanted through me litvinenko did receive threats while he was in england once when visiting the famous russian dissident vladimir bukowski in cambridge he received a phone call telling him that if he returned to russia to face trial as a traitor his wife and child would be spared otherwise they might all be killed on another occasion he received this email from moscow advising him that he had been sentenced to extrajudicial elimination the threat came from a retired senior fsb agent named victor shibalan it was passed along to lift an ankle by a russian dissident lawyer mikhail trapashkin yes yes i wrote the letter says the russian secret police were very open about their plan to kill at fenanco isis in this particular case it was very demonstrative just to show that this is exactly what will happen to those who write those negative stories about first of all the fsb and about the country's leadership alexander told me said boris it's possible to fight person against of course impossible to fight person against the system and if they decide to kill us they will kill us i i share this vision yes if let's say kremlin putin intelligence services russia decide to kill me i don't have any chance to survive the suspected lead murderer andre lugavoy was also a former russian fsb agent with whom litvinenko worked back in russia lugovoy showed up in london in 2005 and eventually proposed a kind of partnership with lyfonenko they would kind of go into business together they would become business partners that that lugavo would supply information from his moscow contacts a living yankee would sell it and they would share their profits at a lavish 60th birthday party for boris berezovsky in london in january 2006 andre lugavoy was photographed in a group with marina litvinenko sasha told me lugovo is very keen to extend his business to england he wants to make something a kind of private investigation business and for sasha it was a period of time to do something for himself became more independent financially and being something more serious it was a discussion for two of them to do this in the last year of his life litvinenko became involved in an investigation of criminal activity directly related to vladimir putin several russian gangsters were arrested in spain and litvinenko was going to testify in their trials about the gangster's long-standing connections to putin he alone helped the law enforcement to establish beyond doubt the personal connections between real gangsters with people immediately close to putin and putin himself back in the 1990s and that was politically embarrassing if there were a trial for example of russian mafia in spain and an fsb officer would testify he would be a star witness and that is the kind of threat he opposed as far as i think that's the most plausible motive litvinenko told lugovoy about his role in the upcoming spanish trials information lugovoy likely shared in moscow it was at that time that lugovoy and koftun were apparently recruited to kill litvinenko and the murder weapon was selected the moment the polonium entered levienko his fate was sealed when the killers of alexander litvinenko arrived in london they didn't realize that they left a trail of radioactive contamination in every location they visited on everything they touched evidence presented at the inquiry showed exactly where the contamination was detected on chairs tables and the teapot the areas in purple show the highest readings called full-scale deflection let's go back three or four years nuclear physicist nick priest is one of the world's leading experts on polonium-210 the radioactive poison chosen as the murder weapon in the live financial case we have tea which was contaminated so a small amount of the polonium could have been added to the teapot to the tea the moment we've done this then the teapot is contaminated i drink it my mouth is now contaminated i might wipe my mouth my hand is now contaminated i put my hands down on the table the table is now contaminated i might put my arm on the seat that's contaminated and i push the door open with my hands that's now contaminated so you end up with a whole chain of contamination the russian government has gone to extreme lengths to try and explain away the trail of radioactive contamination that leads to moscow the kremlin has repeatedly suggested that alexander litvinenko must have been smuggling polonium and accidentally poisoned himself with it alexander nekrassov is a former kremlin advisor he might have poisoned himself because he didn't really know how to handle this you know these materials could have opened the container or something or he could have been taken out by some people actually in britain even the mob even the security services because you know he was talking too much and so on but no the trace doesn't go to moscow in fact experts at the inquiry traced the polonium to a nuclear reactor just east of moscow in the russian town of seraf putin has made public visits to the facility in seraph where polonium is used as a trigger for nuclear weapons polonium from here has also been sold to western countries it turns out that every batch of radioactive polonium has its own unique chemical composition which reveals where it was made every radioactive material which is produced in a reactor has its own fingerprint and of course there was a lot of polonium from russia which is being used in europe and in the west and you could compare the material with with that material the inquiry established that the polonium was first brought to london on a trans-arrow flight from moscow on october 16th by andre lugaboy and dimitri koftu they had scheduled a meeting with alexander litvinenko at a security company at 25 grosvenor street in london the public inquiry revealed that this was likely the first attempt to kill litvinenko but it failed the poison apparently spilled the police later found massive radioactive contamination of the tablecloth and some also on the boardroom chairs now we don't know precisely what happened but i think our best guess is that the polonium was put in a jug uh or a cup and that i think litvinyenko failed to drink i think if he drunk from the water at that point he he would have been killed but he didn't the killers returned to the shaft spree hotel where one of them apparently decided to dispose of the rest of the polonium it was spilled down the sink the polonium left a radioactive trail on the sink drain and especially in the u-shaped drain pipe where it likely sat for some time polonium will tend to stick to surfaces so if you put it down into the into the into the water system into the drains it would stick there it would stick onto the surfaces ceramic surfaces it sticks particularly hard to anything which is metal basically it just fuses and becomes part of the metal surface wonder every time marina litvinenko later remembered that her husband was somewhat ill on the day of that first attempt on his life he felt a little bit down and he didn't feel well and then he suddenly vomited and he tried not to eat next day and just day after next just try to keep and understand how does he feel was very unusual and why it made me to remember this and when we talk after uh to police i remind this day when sasha became sick lukavoy and koftoon returned to moscow but lugovoy came back to london alone just one week later on october 25th for what appears to be the second murder attempt police later found radioactive contamination on his airline seat this time he stayed at the upscale sheraton park lane hotel where again he had some meetings with litvinenko for some reason he must have changed his mind and returned to his room where police later discovered contamination on the bedside table and especially in the bathroom apparently the polonium was thrown into the wastebasket which recorded very high levels of radioactivity as did the floors and wall decided there's one moment where uh two scientists turned up at room 848 of the sheraton park hotel where luger voice stayed in october 2006. they put their guy who counters out and the rings are so alarming they retreat they literally have to leave the room because the room is so toxic this this is how dangerous this planet was lukavoy flew back to moscow again leaving radioactive contamination on his airline seat and returned two days later this time meeting up with his alleged co-conspirator dimitri koftoon apparently litvinenko took an instant dislike to koftoon he said he was a very unpleasant very antisocial and looked very rude and see and i remember one sentence about coughton what koften said i don't care about anything in this life only money what i don't care about for sashit was quite not not good characteristic of person an amazing story of dmitry koftoon's activities leading up to the murder was revealed the british enquirer it seems that dmitry koften who flew to germany where he used to live before flying to london to kill little nienko met um a friend from the italian restaurant in hamburg where he worked before this is on the eve of the poisoning attempt and tells his friend i have a very expensive poison and i've got to poison someone who's a traitor i've gotta put it in their food or drink do you know any cooks in london who could help me which is amazing and what was extraordinary was the friend the german waiter said um yeah actually i do know a cook pass in the number and on the morning of the poisoning um kaufman phones the cook who is busy unavailable um and um you can't make this stuff up i mean these are witness statements which are going to be given in court and and for me i think this is convincing proof that louisville and koften are guilty lou gevoy and coughton poisoned him and you will decide when the cctv footage of alexander litvinenko approaching the millennium hotel was played at the public inquiry along with the images of lugovoy and koftoon preparing to kill him marina litvinenko felt an overwhelming urge to try to reach out and stop time i'm very realistic person i'm very logical but i just felt if something you can change to to put such a different direction to make something not happen and this meeting will be never ever but of course i know it might be in the movie but not in real life the thing about polonium is that um if you keep it securely it's obviously not very good for you but it won't kill you if you ingest it in other words swallow it or inject it then you're a dead man walking when we come back how the litvinenko polonium mystery was solved after the fateful millennium hotel meeting alexander litvinenko returned to his home in north london for dinner with his family it was a celebration of the sixth anniversary of their arrival in britain at midnight he began to vomit uncontrollably sasha said from very beginning it might be not food poisoning it looks so damaging it looks so unusual he said symptomat symptoms too similar to what they did study in the college when it's some chemical poisoning something like this but i try to every time to say no it might how it might be chemical poisoning or something uh different like who could do this to you after two days litvinenko was taken to his local hospital and then transferred to london's university hospital doctors worked feverishly trying to figure out the cause of his illness as word of the poisoning spread reporters gathered outside the hospital very tired alex goldfarb briefed them on litvinenko's condition older than he released his thing as he watched his friend deteriorating quickly i've seen a couple of people dying of cancer so that was very much like a deterioration of a terminal cancer patient but what usually happens over the period of several months it happened within a week on day 12 litvinenko's hair began to fall out i tried to calm him down and i was in rubber gloves and when i i just tried to calm him and then i realized all his hair and my gloves and then i said first time doctor what's this why why it's happened and he say it again it might be side effect of this medical treatment but on i couldn't wait and i couldn't be patient anymore i just said we need to talk to two more doctors and as there was first time in the doctor from cancer unit said he looks exactly like his patient after chemical or radioactive treatment the impact which alexander lipienko had from the polonium is probably about the same as having 500 cat scans one after the other at the same time at first the doctors suspected radioactive thallium poisoning but then ruled that out because there was no gamma radiation that normally accompanies thallium by now the police and nuclear scientists were also involved searching for clues at all the locations litvinenko visited the british authorities as living young dying in the london hospital room they didn't know what was poisoning him that they had these radiation symptoms but no gamma radiation which is what you would normally expect and it was only literally in the last hours before he died that they discovered this was radioactive polonium um and the reason they didn't find out before polonium had never been used as a murder weapon before certainly not in the uk not in the western world nuclear experts think the murderers believe that their poison with its alpha radiation would never be detected it's entirely reasonable to think it might not have been detected after all it was only detected on the day before he died and it's quite conceivable it would seem to me that he would have died and people would have thought it some sort of infection or some sort of other poison and he would have been buried without the polonium being detected this is the last image of alexander litvinenko before he died he was incredibly weak his face pockmarked from the poison in his system when i left him last day before he was able to talk he was a very very quiet all day he didn't talk and when i say i'm ready to go home and he smiled but his smile was so sad and i said sasha please don't worry i'm going back soon and he just told me marina i love you so much and he says it's so quiet and i say just oh it's so good to hear it's from you i don't remember when you did say this last time and actually it was last words what i heard from him alexander litvinenko was buried 14 days after he died in london's highgate cemetery the coffin was lined with lead to prevent radioactive contamination of the pallbearers by this time london police had already traced the polonium trail back to moscow and to andre lugavoy former kgb man lukavoy has staunchly maintained his innocence ever since luke harding has met him numerous times it's as if someone had taken his conscience and shared it off with a pair of scissors there's just there's an emptiness there there's a there's a coldness there there's a calculating side to him now he's not stupid he's a reasonably intelligent person who i think has been very well coached and whose subsequent career since this case has prospered vladimir putin has protected lugovoy and denounced the british investigations and the public inquiry as deeply biased against russia the inquiry was basically started under pressure there are certain people in britain who want this inquiry to take place because it gives them opportunity to attack russia especially nowadays when the ukraine crisis is a major major irritant in the relations between russia and the west this is a charade this is something that shouldn't be happening in a court of law in britain of all places this inquiry is tremendously important either we we believe things we believe in human rights we believe in a legal process we believe um that there should be punishment for a crime or we live in this kind of nihilistic putin world where we don't believe in anything where it's just great powers battling against each other zones of influence that were plunged back into the world of the 19th century meanwhile putin's critics have continued to die the latest russian opposition leader boris nimsoff murdered in front of the kremlin as the litvinenko inquiry was in session in london after what happened with sash in 2006 and now we in the 2015 and it's not only my story it's a story of russia and how russia has changed for all this period of time and how many other people have been killed and i believe all responsibilities is on the russian government and a man who is responsible for all of it happened to russia now it's a mr putin himself first the key question raised by the british inquiry concerns the role of vladimir putin and whether he personally ordered this murder vladimir putin has repeatedly said that alexander litvinenko was not worth killing because he had no access to russian secrets and putin's defenders say he would never become personally involved in a foreign assassination well first of all the head of state and it's not only russia it never gets involved in anything like that ever because it's just it goes against the whole nature of the head of state office and that is why i always find it ridiculous when i hear accusations of putin as president ordering a hit you know it just doesn't work like that well it certainly used to work like that there's plenty of evidence from retired former kgb spy masters who said that these things were authorized at the very top of the of the soviet state by the politburo if you remember that the invasion of primary by russian troops a year ago said originally there were no russian troops there subsequently admitted that he was lying um although he didn't use those words and then said that he had personally micromanaged it he personally micromanaged this so really we know that putin makes very important decisions and this was certainly one of them alexander litvinenko's son anatoly was only 12 when his father died he's now a student in east european studies at london university he rejects the idea that his father's murder could have been carried out by junior russian officials without putin's approval especially considering the expense of the operation one thing nobody seen your person will have the means to take such a responsibility to take such an action because it's very unlikely they would have early access to a multi-million pound uh radioactive isotope such as polonium so not only do they not have a means to do that i don't think anyone would risk being responsible for the death of one of russia's greatest i guess critics of the time without without putin's knowledge and without his kind of blessing so to speak marina and anatoly litvinenko believed that all the evidence at the public inquiry is pointing towards vladimir putin as the author of the crime and all experts agree that it could not have happened without direct authorization of mr putin because not only because it in uk and not only because it involves a radioactive weapon but also because everybody in the system knows about long personal history that existed between lithuanian putin and brzezowski and the emotional attitude that mr putin has to this crowd of people hiding from him in london so nobody in his right mind would authorize such an operation without asking first because nobody would have known what the attitude of the boss would be so this to me is the strongest argument that it couldn't have happened without putin's knowledge when he first moved to the united kingdom and was raising the alarm about vladimir putin alexander litvinenko was astounded at the warm reception accorded the russian president by many western countries little gift even after it was clear that the russian government was likely responsible for litvinenko's murder then u.s secretary of state hillary clinton announced america's desire to hit the reset button and restore cordial relations with moscow many russians saw a kind of willful blindness in the west about here was a man who had jailed his opponents murdered his opponents destroyed the electoral system destroyed the federal system uh absolutely reversed judicial reform and only about eight years into his reign were western media even starting to talk about his authoritarian tendencies i mean he had built a fully fledged authoritarian regime at that point he had destroyed what little democracy there had been in russia and western editors and once western politicians were willfully ignorant and and dismissive of what he had been doing the reset button was very much part of the same story in this case there is specific guy by the name of vladimir putin who ordered to kill my friend and the husband of my other friend marina and he has to be hold held responsible regardless of whether he is a dictator or a democrat or a big friend of the united states or the foe he's a murderer and that's important what's important judge robert owen is presiding over the litvinenko inquiry he has already said that there is a prima fascia case against the russian government as being responsible for the murder it is unlikely that he could go beyond that to lay the blame on vladimir putin himself five years ago however leaked diplomatic cables showed that a senior american official privately told european allies that the litvinenko plot could not have been carried out without putin's knowledge and approval all this creates a serious challenge for the uk government and the west how to deal with a world leader who almost everyone believes is personally guilty of murder me you
