Telegraph: Nikolai Glushkov, close associate of Putin Critic Boris Berezovsky found dead in UK

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.
