The European Court of Human Rights found that Russia was responsible for the assassination of ex-KGB officer Alexander Litvinenko, who died in 2006 after being poisoned in London with a rare radioactive substance, EUobserver reports.
Litvinenko, a defector who had become a vocal critic of the Kremlin, died three weeks after drinking green tea laced with polonium-210 at a London hotel.
The Kremlin dismissed the ECHR’s conclusion.
