1. Do you think someone can procure polonium and travel around the west to kill someone with it without the security services knowing about it? 2. If they don't know, how come? 3. If the Russian constitution says no extraditions, then there is no point in the UK demanding extradition 4. I don't really think any court in the UK is going to 'hand over' Berezovsky 5. Who knows why the UK just deported someone it later claimed was here to murder Berezovsky 6. It is true that a lot of dissident and opposition figures in Russia get killed without any prosecutions for murder
I'ts messy. Games are played on both sides. Sure, Russia can show that the rule of law pertains and that the courts are more powerful than the executive. But I don't see it happening. Unlike the UK where it happens all the time.
