Poisoned former KGB spy  Alexander Litvinenko was effectively a triple agent working for MI6 and the Spanish secret service, it was claimed yesterday. He was on the payroll of MI6 and had a handler called ‘Martin’, a barrister for his widow Marina said. The Spanish secret service was also bankrolling his espionage activities and both stipends were paid into a joint bank account he held with his wife, it was said. 'Murdered': Litvinenko was hospitalised after the radioactive substance, Polonium-210, was allegedly put in his tea. He died three days after this picture was taken on November 20, 2006
