LONDON (Sputnik) — British Prime Minister David Cameron will hold next week a meeting with the National Security Council on the United Kingdom’s relations with Russia amid the UK parliament receiving a final public inquiry report into the death of former Russian intelligence officer Alexander Litvinenko, local media reported Sunday, citing intelligence sources.
Litvinenko, who fled to the United Kingdom from Russia in 2000, died from radioactive poisoning in 2006 after consuming tea suspected of being laced with polonium-210.
According to The Sunday Times newspaper, Cameron will review findings of the judicial report before deciding on future relations with Moscow.
Judge Sir Robert Owen concluded his report on the Litvinenko case at the end of 2015. On January 21 the judge will had his report over to the British Parliament and 48 hours before that the British Home Office will receive the report.
Despite repeated requests from the Russian prosecutor's office, the UK authorities have not revealed the results of postmortem study of Litvinenko's body.
British authorities blamed Litvinenko's former colleagues Dmitry Kovtun and Andrei Lugovoi for the poisoning. Both men deny involvement in their compatriot's death.
