"..A pure disaster, and the British detectives knew what they were in for when they went. They had to, so to speak, ‘give evidence’ of their respect, they were to come and take a look, and just enter it into the record, because neither Kovtun nor Lugovoy… no one was presented to them in the proper way. The British detectives sat there, they realized this was purely a pathetic show the Russians were putting on. The British are not fools, they knew that the Russians have never collaborated honestly with the British in juridical questions. .."
Yeah? They wanted to get "free hand" on teh russian territory? I do not remember that British themseves gave such "free hands" when Russia investigated Berezovskii and Zakaev. Quite opposite if we all remember.
Russian investigators did whatever they can. They accepted british dedectives on thier interrogations and allowed them to ask questions. But forgive us Russia didn't allow british dedectives to has the authority in Moscow. Poor us:).
