A close associate of the late oligarch Boris Berezovsky has been found dead in Britain, it has been reported.

Nikolai Glushkov, a former deputy director of Aeroflot, died at the age of 69, Russia's Business FM radio station said, citing his lawyer.

The lawyer, Andrei Borovkov, did not mention a cause of death. Mr Glushkov, a close ally of Mr Berezovsky, was twice charged with fraud in Russia.

Mr Berezovsky was once one of the most powerful businessmen in Russia and was instrumental in Vladimir Putin's rise to power in 1999.

He later fell out with the Russian president and fled to London in 2000, where he became one of Mr Putin's most outspoken critics.

6. "I'm definite Boris was killed. I have quite different information from what is being published"

Glushkov was deeply unhappy with the judgment and launched a formal appeal, citing “bias”. Meanwhile, Berezovsky disappeared from public life. In March 2013, he was found dead at his ex-wife’s home in Berkshire. Police believe he committed suicide. His friends were not so certain, with a coroner recording an open verdict.
...
He noted that a large number of Russian exiles including Berezovsky, and Berezovsky’s close friend Alexander Litvinenko, had died under mysterious circumstances. “Boris was strangled. Either he did it himself or with the help of someone. (But) I don’t believe it was suicide,” Glushkov said.
...
Glushkov continued to investigate the circumstances surrounding Berezovsky’s death for some months. He conceded that in the period before his death they had quarrelled. In 2013 Glushkov emailed a friend: “I have a lot of new facts that are of great interest.”
...
In 2017, during a trial in absentia in Russia, Glushkov was sentenced to eight years in prison for stealing $123m from the company.

Was this guy also murdered by Pootie's henchmen?

I believe we'll be hearing a lot more from Sexy Rexy, now that he's been fired.
