EXILED Russian Nikolai Glushkov has been found dead at his London home, Russian media has reported.

Glushkov, who was a close friend of one-time Putin ally Boris Berezovsky, reportedly died at the age of 68.


It comes after ex Russian spy Sergei Skripal and daughter Yulia were poisoned using a nerve agent manufactured in Russia.

There is no suggestion the Salisbury poisoning was linked to Glushkov’s death.

Media tycoon Demyan Kudryavtysev shared a tribute to Glushkov, the former deputy director of Aeroflo, saying: “We have friends in common.
