Power. Politics. Murder. Boris Berezovsky could teach the guys in Sicily a thing or two.
Berezovsky: " I am not one of those people who seeks vengeance."
Maybe not, but people who have stood in
his way have sometimes met bloody ends. The most famous death came with
Berezovsky's move into TV broadcasting.
When Listiev announced that he would be ending the
advertising monopoly, Lisovsky demanded $100 million in damages. Listiev found a
European company (name undisclosed) willing to buy the ORT advertising
franchise. Listiev asked Boris Berezovsky to act as transfer agent and hand over
the $100 million to Lisovsky. Berezovsky took the cash and stalled Lisovsky; he
would get his money in three months, Berezovsky explained.
Thus the reforming Listiev was caught between two
ruthless characters. He paid with his life.
