Files on 'spy links' of Russian who mysteriously died to stay SECRET
Daily MailRussian millionaire Alexander Perepilichnyy mysteriously collapsed and died while out jogging near his home in Surrey in 2012 Secret documents that could reveal if a Russian millionaire was working with British spies before his mysterious death will not be made public at his inquest, a coroner has ruled. Before his death Mr Perepilichnyy had been helping UK-based campaigner Bill Browder's Hermitage Capital Investment to expose a £142 million money-laundering operation in Russia. Bob Moxon Browne QC, for Legal and General, told the court his concern about Mr Javid's application was 'whether or not British police or the Government have evidence that Mr Perepilichnyy was prior to his death working for or in contact with British intelligence'. Another Russian who helped Mr Browder, Sergei Magnitsky, died in custody in Russia The inquest had also heard how Buzzfeed had reported that 'high grade' US intelligence indicated that Mr Perepilichnyy was likely assassinated on direct orders of Vladimir Putin or those close to him.
