British detectives said Thursday that they were unaware of evidence supporting Russian prosecutors' claims that there were dangerous mercury traces in London and Moscow, and that former Yukos co-owner Leonid Nevzlin was possibly tied to former FSB agent Alexander Litvinenko's death.

The Prosecutor General on Wednesday issued a statement saying high levels of mercury had been discovered in cars, apartments, country homes and offices in the two countries' capitals.

Russian prosecutors further said they were investigating possible links between Nevzlin and the Nov. 23 polonium-210 poisoning death of Litvinenko. Prosecutors also said they were looking into ties between Nevzlin and Litvinenko associate Dmitry Kovtun's poisoning.

Nevzlin, who fled Russia in 2003 for Israel, has been charged in absentia with ordering numerous murders.

Nevzlin's spokesman, Amir Dan, said in an interview Thursday that the prosecutors' statement was "ridiculous" and motivated by Nevzlin's "fierce" criticism of President Vladimir Putin.
