Was Litvinenko a Nuclear Smuggler?

According to the Italian who met Alexander Litvinenko on the day he fell ill, the former Russian spy confessed during their meeting to having smuggled nuclear material out of Russia for his masters at the FSB, formerly the KGB.

Mario Scaramella, an academic and examining magistrate in Rome and Naples, came to London to meet Litvinenko to discuss a death threat aimed at both of them.

Scaramella says he has been investigating the smuggling of radioactive materials by the KGB and its successors. He has claimed that the Soviet Navy laid 20 nuclear torpedoes in the Bay of Naples where they supposedly remain to this day.
