ded_vasilijBBC: Mr Putin was an "increasingly isolated tinpot despot" and a "morally deranged authoritarian".
Mr Emmerson told the inquiry Mr Putin was an "increasingly isolated tinpot despot" and a "morally deranged authoritarian".
He said the Russian president and his allies are "directly implicated in organised crime".
Mr Putin's "personal cabal" are "willing to murder those who stand in their way", Mr Emmerson added.
He said: "If the Russian state is responsible, Vladimir Putin is responsible.
"Not on some analogical version of vicarious liability but because he personally ordered the liquidation of an enemy who was bent on exposing him and his cronies."
статья ВВС на русском:
Путин все больше превращается в "изолированного мелкого деспота и психически неуравновешенного властолюбивого человека".
По словам Эммерсона, российский президент и его окружение "напрямую замешаны в организованной преступности" и "готовы убивать тех, кто стоит на пути".
