MOSCOW, June 29 (Itar-Tass) -- The Federal Security Service has disclosed the name of a Russian citizen, who got in touch with the FSB in early June and said that British secret services tried to recruit him.
“The Britons were trying to recruit former security service officer Vyacheslav Zharko,” a source at the FSB public relations center told Itar-Tass on Friday.
Zharko said that exiled tycoon Boris Berezovsky knows him under a different name. They got acquainted in the 1990s, and Zharko was running Berezovsky’s errands.
The tycoon invited Zharko to London in summer 2002 and introduced him to Alexander Litvinenko. The latter introduced him to certain representatives of a consulting company, who appeared to be agents of British secret services, the source said.

<sarcasm>
Are they suggesting that government spy agencies are in the busy of recruit spies from other nations? That is just silly....
</sarcasm>
Plus they are basically stating (again) that Alexander Litvinenko had some indirect connection to agents of British secret services...thru Boris Berezovsky.
