Are there any witnesses who saw anyone put anything in Litvinenko’s tea at the Pine Bar?
No, there are no such witnesses. The closest observer of his tea was Litvinenko himself. However, Litvinenko told his co-author that he had been poisoned in a Sushi restaurant where he had gone to earlier for lunch that day. Even a waiter who recalled the group in the Pine Bar said that his view was blocked. Do traces of Polonium 210 found in the Pine Bar mean that Litvinenko was poisoned there? No, it only means that someone who visited the Pine Bar had previously been in contact with Polonium 210. As three people at the Pine Bar on November 1st– Litvinenko, Kovtun, and Lugovoy, previously had been in contact with Polonium 210, anyone of them could have left the traces.
