MOSCOW, March 23 (Reuters) - Boris Berezovsky, a Russian
tycoon and former Kremlin insider who became one of President
Vladimir Putin's fiercest critics, died in London on Saturday,
Russian news agencies reported, citing relatives and a lawyer.

The Interfax news agency cited a relative whom it did not
name as saying Berezovsky, 67, who had been granted asylum in
Britain, died at his home there. It also cited a Russian lawyer
for Berezovsky, Alexander Dobrovinsky, as saying he had died.
British police would not immediately comment.
