In 2006, a spy hired by the British intelligence agency, MI6, was allegedly poisoned by Russia. Russia has denied the poisoning. Litvinenko was investigating the Russian Mafia and was said to be poisoned after meeting with Russian contacts. His widow called on lawyers to make sure that the British and Spain (who had also been paying Litvinenko) had done their best to protect her husband. An inquest will begin next year before the High Court. This is very sad that he died so young(age 45); being a spy is very dangerous!

This is such risky business. I hope something like this doesn't happen again.
