Russian President Vladimir Putin is a “common criminal dressed up as a Head of State” who ordered the murder of Alexander Litvinenko to stop him exposing him, the inquiry heard.

The former spy was murdered for trying to reveal Putin’s close links to organised crime and a cabal of crime lords who prop up his corrupt regime, it was claimed.

Ben Emmerson QC, representing the Litvinenko family, said the trail behind the “act of unspeakable barbarism” led directly to Putin’s door.

He said Russia was a “Mafia state” where the Kremlin and Russian organised crime syndicates were “indistinguishable”.

Mr Litvinenko could even show crimes committed or authorises by Mr Putin personally, it was claimed.

The world needs to quit pretending that Putin is a head of state. He is the head of a crime syndicate, nothing more.

Was there anyone that wasn’t aware of this, even before he was killed?

This can't be! Paul Craig Roberts says Putin is good, Putin is kind.

There are a lot of people unaware, and some who downplay it.

Didn’t one of the Rahms visit a mafia stronghold in Italy early in Obama’s presidency, or while he was running as a candidate?

“Alexander Litvinenko ‘assassinated to stop him exposing Vladimir Putin’s links to organised crime’”

Aren’t all totalitarian governments simply ‘organized crime’?

True, except for the fact that Putin controls nuclear weapons.

“The intimate relationship that will be shown to exist between the Kremlin and Russian organised crime syndicates are so close as to make the two effectively indistinguishable,” Mr Emmerson claimed.

“The startling truth, which is going to be revealed in public by the evidence in this inquiry, is that a significant part of the Russian organised crime around the world is organised directly from the office of the Kremlin. Vladimir Putin’s Russia is a mafia state,” Mr Emmerson alleged to the inquiry.
