A British-based Russian billionaire who feared he was about to be murdered has been found dead at his home.
Badri Patarkatsishvili, 52, was found dead at his £10 million house near Leatherhead, Surrey, at about 11pm last night.
Surrey police are investigating and are currently treating his death as suspicious.
He is thought to have died of a suspected heart attack and a post mortem will be carried out later today.
The oligarch, who made his £6 billion fortune in his native Georgia, said recently of his political enemies: "I believe they want to kill me."
He was an opponent of Russian president Vladimir Putin but the most likely threat is believed to have come from Georgia.
