Boris Berezovsky Apology published in the Evening Standard on 16 November 2004
“In an interview with Boris Berezovsky on 2 June 2004 we mentioned an allegation of murder made against him in Forbes Magazine. In the settled libel proceedings brought by Mr Berezovsky against Forbes Magazine this allegation was accepted as false. We apologise for any suggestion to the contrary and have made a donation to a charitable foundation and paid his legal costs.”
