Litvinenko, a former Russian spy who became a British citizen, died of polio poisoning in 2006 in London.
A public investigation by Britain in 2016 concluded that the murder was probably approved by Russia's president, Vladimir Putin.
Russia has denied any involvement in its murder, reports the BBC, translates Periscopi.
Britain's investigation said the KGB bodyguard, Andrey Lugovoi, with another Russian name Dmitry Kovtun, had been deliberately killed by Mr. Litvinenko putting radioactive substances in his drink.
