Nikolai Glushkov
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nikolay Glushkov is a former Deputy Director-General of Aeroflot.
He was arrested in 2000 by Russian authorities on fraud charges, being seriously ill. He is a close ally of the Russian tycoon Boris Berezovsky, who gave up his shares of the ORT TV channel[1] (and, according to some sources, transferred them to Roman Abramovich's Sibneft) for the promise to release him, which was not fulfilled [2].
In 2001 Andrei Lugovoi was arrested and charged with organizing the escape of Glushkov.
