MOSCOW. Dec 4 (Interfax) - The German Prosecutor General's Office's assumption on the Russian state authorities' involvement in the killing in Berlin of Georgian citizen Zelimkhan Khangoshvili is doubtful, member of the Russian State Duma Security and Anti-Corruption Committee Andrei Lugovoi said.
The Russian special services have not engaged in such things for a long time, he said.
"The use of such methods by the Russian special services is now history. It's make-believe. The German Prosecutor General's Office can assume whatever. I don't see any convincing evidence. It is reminiscent of the situation in Salisbury," Lugovoi, whom London considers to be involved in the 2006 death in London of former FSB official Alexander Litvinenko, told Interfax on Wednesday.
When asked whether this scandal may be connected to the meeting in the Normandy format scheduled to be held in Paris on December 9, Lugovoi said, "I don't think so. A solution for the Ukrainian settlement will be sought there, which all participants are interested in."
The parliamentarian said he believes that "this situation will not have the best reflection on the atmosphere of the meeting between the Normandy format leaders."
