The Radioactive Corpse Three Theories June 12, 2010 by Edward Jay Epstein

Theories that have been advanced  in this case include: 1. The Putin Theory.  Putin's inner sanctum arranged for Litvinenko to be exposed to radioactive Polonium to exact vengeance for his defection. 2. The Smuggling Theory.  A sample of polonium 210, a component in early stage nuclear bombs, was used to facilitate a deal in London involving Litvinenko, and he was exposed to it. 3. The Red Mafia Theory.  Litvinenko (and his associate Mario Scaramella) were attempting to expose a Ukrainian leader of the so-called Red Mafia, who was engaged in smuggling nuclear materials.  In the course of these machinations, Litvinenko (and Scaramella) were exposed to the radioactive isotope.                                                                                                                               if you have any comments please reply below: your email:
