Vladimir Putin 'probably' approved Alexander Litvinenko killing in London
President Vladimir Putin "probably" approved the assassination of former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko in London, a public inquiry has found.
Sir Robert Owen's report said Andrei Lugovoi and Dmitri Kovtun were probably acting under the direction of Moscow's FSB intelligence service when they poisoned him with radioactive polonium 210 at the Millennium Hotel in Mayfair in 2006.
The Home Secretary said the Russian ambassador will be summoned to the Foreign Office to be told about the Government’s anger about the case.
