Winter Talk: ‘The Murder of Alexander Litvinenko’

Garry Dunnagan

17 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall a former officer of the Russian FSB was poisoned in a bar in central London.  Arguably, this was the start of a new Cold War between Putin’s Russia and the West.  Gary Dunnagan worked on the investigation into the murder, interviewing numerous witnesses in Hamburg and Kyiv, which ultimately led to the Crown Prosecution Service authorising a murder charge against the second suspected killer.  In this talk he will take you through what happened and consider some of the implications which are impacting us all to this day.
