The High Court in London upheld the libel suit of Boris Berezovsky, formerly an influential Russian businessman and political figure, now an émigré wanted in Russia on various charges, against Russian TV company VGTRK. In 2007 VGTRK broadcasted a program alleging that Berezovsky was responsible for the poisoning of dissident Alexander Litvinenko and forged documents to avoid extradition to Russia. The Court awarded £150,000 to Berezovsky. The TV company refuses to comply with the judgment and intends to “appeal up to the European Court of Human Rights.”
