Biography
Nikolay Alekseevich Glushkov (Russian: Ðиколай ÐлекÑÐµÐµÐ²Ð¸Ñ ÐлÑÑков; 24 December 1949 â 12 March 2018) was a Russian businessman who was the deputy director of Aeroflot and a finance manager for AvtoVAZ who died in suspicious circumstances. After claiming that Aeroflot worked as a "cash cow to support international spying operations", he was arrested and tried in Russia on the allegation of funnelling Aeroflot money through another company in 1999. He was convicted and released in 2004, after serving three years. He emigrated to the UK in 2010 and received political asylum. In 2017, he was convicted in absentia in Russia for stealing money from Aeroflot, but his extradition from Britain had been denied. Initially treated as "unexplained", Glushkov's death was investigated by the Metropolitan Police as a murder inquiry. On 9 April 2021, the West London Coroner's Court ruled Glushkov was unlawfully killed, with injuries consistent with strangulation.
