Man denies murdering Litvinenko
Russian businessman Andrei Lugovoi on May 22 said he was innocent in the poisoning death of Alexander Litvinenko and called British prosecutors' decision to charge him politically motivated.
The Russian Foreign Ministry and the Prosecutor General's office, meanwhile, indicated it was highly unlikely that Lugovoi would be extradited to Britain.
