Cops reveal address of defector on Putin hit list

 » Double agent: I’m on Death Row  » Threats arrive through the post

A RUSSIAN defector facing death threats fears the National Crime Agency put him at greater risk by revealing his UK alias and address.

Former KGB and FSB spy Boris Karpichkov, 62, appeared on the same Vladimir Putin hitlist as Sergei Skripal, poisoned by Novichok in Salisbury.

And he claims to have had seven death threats since the NCA handed over details to his native Latvia.

The latest threat, received by post on January 2, said: “Traitors like you have no place on Earth. Death is on the way. You are already a half-corpse.”
