Before death Berezovsky asked President Putin for forgiveness and a permission to return to Russia

According to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, the fugitive Russian tycoon Boris Berezovsky, who died in London Saturday, had asked President Putin for forgiveness and a permission to return home.

Dmitry Peskov: “I don’t know Putin’s reaction on the Berezovsky’s death. I can say only that the death of any person is a grief. But I should say that recently, maybe few months ago, Berezovsky sent a letter to Putin, where he admits that he had made a lot of mistakes and asked to forgive him. He also asked Putin whether he could return back to Russia. So Berezovsky admitted all his mistakes and was asking to forgive him.”
