Russian expatriate Nikolai Glushkov has been found dead in London, according to reports in the British press.
Family and friends found the body of Glushkov – described as a "Russian exile" – late on Monday night.
He was 68.
Glushkov was a former exmployee of the Russian airline Aeroflot, and an ally of the late oligarch Boris Berezovsky. Glushkov sought refuge in the UK after being released from a five-year stint in jail for money laundering and fraud.
His death in Britain follows the attempted murder of former Russian double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter with a military-grade nerve agent the developed in the Soviet Union. The British government has blamed Russia for the attacks.
