Moscow diz que tem o `do espião MI6 recrutado por Litvinenko'
Domingo, julho 8o, 2007
Os oficiais RUSSIAN anunciaram ontem que uma investigação criminal tinha sido aberta em allegations por um oficial de polícias anterior que estêve recrutado como um informant por MI6 com a ajuda de Alexander Litvinenko, agente anterior do imposto de KGB que morreu do envenenamento do polonium em Londres o ano passado. Vyacheslav Zharko é dito ter-se girado dentro himself para o FSB, o sucessor ao KGB, 10 dias há e confessed a ter trabalhado para a inteligência britânica desde 2002. Reivindica que estêve introduzido aos oficiais MI6 por Litvinenko durante um desengate a Londres nesse ano. Zharko disse que se encontrou com seus alimentadores britânicos regularmente em Turquia, em Finlandia e em Chipre e se forneceu os com os relatórios analíticos na economia e na política de Rússia. No retorno, reivindica, ele foi pagado aproximadamente? 60.000. Estima que MI6 gastou um adicional? 150.000 em despesas. “I necessitou o dinheiro assim quando Litvinenko me disse que que eu poderia me ganhar a dinheiro fácil collaborating com a inteligência britânica concordou,” Zharko, 36, disse os tempos de domingo em sua primeira entrevista com um jornal ocidental. “Eu vi-me myself como um consultante. Eu comecei a preocupar-se após a morte de Litvinenko porque eu temi que eu estaria sugado em algo demasiado perigoso. Isso é quando eu me girei myself dentro.” O FSB, que investigou Zharko, suporta suas reivindicações mas não prosecute o para o espionage, dig que não revelou nenhuns segredos do estado e tinha vindo para a frente voluntàriamente. Seu testimony vem um mês após Andrei Lugovoi, um oficial anterior de KGB nomeado pelo serviço do Prosecution da coroa como o suspeito principal na morte de Litvinenko, MI6 acusado de tentar recrutá-lo. Rússia recusou extradite Lugovoi, que se encontrou com Litvinenko no dia onde foi envenenado, para enfrentar a experimentação em Grâ Bretanha e o Kremlin rejeitou irritadamente accusations que era atrás do assassinato. Como Zharko, Lugovoi, que protestou seu innocence, reivindica a inteligência britânica procurada recrutá-lo com ajuda de Litvinenko. A morte do Litvinenko excedente do fallout, que deixou também dúzias dos povos contaminou com o polonium 210, junto com a fileira subseqüente Lugovoi excedente, mergulhou relações entre Grâ Bretanha e Rússia a seu ponto mais baixo desde o fim da guerra fria. The dispute has also provoked a propaganda battle between MI6 and the FSB, two former foes that, officially at least, are partners in the fight on terrorism. British investigators are believed to suspect that Litvinenko, a former FSB officer who fled to Britain and was granted asylum, and who became a fierce critic of Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, was killed by his former employer. The FSB rejects the claim and is now hitting back, using Zharko’s testimony to highlight allegations of secret MI6 operations in Russia. “For months we’ve been accused of killing Litvinenko,” said an FSB source. “The Brits have been waging an information war against us and now we are responding in kind. We have gone public with Zharko’s story because it proves that Britain is actively spying against Russia and that Litvinenko was in cahoots with MI6.” Zharko claimed he had first met Litvinenko through Boris Berezovsky, the exiled Russian tycoon and opponent of Putin. Berezovsky has been granted asylum in Britain. A former tax police officer in St Petersburg, Zharko had turned to Berezovsky for help in 2000 when an investigation he had led into a rival tycoon was threatened for political reasons. According to Zharko, Berezovsky ? who at the time had fallen out with the tycoon under investigation ? used his influence to keep the investigation open. In 2002 Zharko left the tax police but stayed in touch with Berezovsky who by then had fled to Britain after falling out with Putin. It was during a trip to London five years ago that the billionaire, who according to Zharko knew him under the false name of Vladislav Petrov, put him in touch with Litvinenko. In turn, Litvinenko introduced Zharko to several British “friends”, who claimed to be business consultants but who later revealed themselves as MI6 officers and told him they were interested in recruiting him as an informant. “They agreed to pay me ?2,000 [?1,355] a month,” Zharko said. “I was told I shouldn’t travel to London any more because Berezovsky’s entourage was closely watched by Russian intelligence. I was supplied with a mobile phone I was to use to make contact with them, but only outside Russia. “Litvinenko led them to believe that I’d worked in Russian intelligence so they thought I was a good catch.” According to Zharko, during his years of secret work for MI6 he had several meetings in the West with a total of four undercover British handlers. He talked fondly about one of the MI6 agents. “We spent many nights drinking together and he once told me how he had photographed some secret documents in the toilets of a Moscow restaurant,” he said. Zharko said that at first his British handlers had been interested in information on several Russian companies. Then they asked him to compile a series of analytical reports on the political situation in Ukraine in the run-up to the country’s Orange revolution and were also interested in information on any FSB operations against western non-governmental organisations working in Russia. Zharko claims he supplied his case officers with information he compiled only from open sources. His final meeting with his handlers took place last November in Istanbul, a few days after Litvinenko’s death, he said. He last spoke to them on the phone in June. It is not the first time the FSB has publicly claimed to have exposed an MI6 operation. Last year it leaked footage of four diplomats posted at the embassy, allegedly downloading secret data from a transmitter concealed in a fake rock left in a Moscow park. Relations between the two countries have been steadily worsening since. For months members of a pro-Kremlin youth group harassed Sir Anthony Brenton, the British ambassador in Moscow, after he attended an opposition gathering. Last week Brenton issued an angry public denial after a Russian paper claimed that asylum could be bought in Britain. “We are in the middle of an information battle,” said a British diplomat who was based in Moscow. “Relations were hard enough before the Litvinenko case. They’ve since taken a sharp turn for the worst. Expect more salvos to be fired.” Have Your Say: Moscow says it has MI6 spy ‘recruited by Litvinenko’ Please read our posting guidelines before posting.
