A Russian whistleblower who had uncovered claims of large-scale corruption had traces of a poisonous plant in his stomach lining, an inquest has heard.

Alexander Perepilichnyy, 44, had been out jogging near his £3m Surrey mansion where he collapsed and died.

He had been assisting Swiss authorities expose an alleged £140m Russian money-laundering operation before he died. He was publicly named as the source that led to the Swiss criminal proceedings.
