Summary:

"I am not sure about my safety in London,” he told pro-Kremlin Komsomolskaya Pravda. “My life is more precious for me than any money.

Sergey Kapchuk, 45, filmed last week flanked by two bodyguards, says he is now in hiding in fear of his life somewhere in Europe.
“Basically, they [the British] had blocked all my accounts and are forcing me to come back.”
He would not return in the near furture.
"I am not sure about my safety in London,” he told pro-Kremlin Komsomolskaya Pravda.
“My life is more precious for me than any money.
"When Glushkov was killed, journalists wrote to me and called.
“They were flagging that I was the next one.
“And when you hear something like this, if you are not an idiot, you should react . So I hired bodyguards.”
Asked if he had been afraid at that point of Putin’s secret services or the British, he replied: “When I ordered bodyguards I just did not know what was going on around me.
“But gradually, analysing everything, I understood that I was not interesting for the Russian secret service.
“They did not have any reason to deal with me, but another secret service may be interested.
“I won’t name them.
“Their aim is to darken Putin and to demonise his image, and this process is actively going on in the Western media now.”
