Who is in the case of the murder of Boris Nemtsov

In the case of the murder of Boris Nemtsov, five people are still taking place. The main accused is Zaur Dadaev . According to Interfax, in the evening of February 27, he shot politics on the Big Moskvoretsky Bridge in Moscow.

Lieutenant Zaur Dadaev served in the Chechen battalion "North" (enters the regiment, commanded by the cousin of the head of Chechnya Alibek Delimkhanov). The regiment obeys the command of the internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The head of the Memorial Human Rights Center, Alexander Cherkasov, said that in fact the regiment is at the disposal of the Chechen authorities.

According to Ramzan Kadyrov, Dadaev was the deputy commander of the battalion, but quit the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The Secretary of the Security Council of Ingushetia Albert Barakhoev assures that Dadaev is an existing police officer. The mother of the arrested says that he participated in a special operation when the militants captured the Press House in Grozny; So, at least, in December 2014, Dadaev still served in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Dadaev’s brother Ruslan said that Zaura saw on March 4-5, 2015 in Malgobek, where their parents live. Ruslan Dadaev spoke about the relative as the current employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he called him the deputy commander of the regiment, that is, Alibek Delimkhanov himself, the brother of the State Duma deputy Adam Delimkhanov. Kommersant also considers Dadaev as deputy commander of the regiment, but not a battalion.

According to Ramzan Kadyrov, Zaur Dadaev was awarded the Order of Courage, medals “For Courage” and “For Merit to the Chechen Republic”. The head of Chechnya knows the main accused in the case of the murder of Boris Nemtsov as a "real patriot of Russia."

The second accused is Anzor Gubashev . Brother Dadaev confirmed that this is their distant relative. Gubashev lived in the suburbs and worked as a guard of a hypermarket. Gubashev is accused of the same articles as Zaura Dadaeva - killing and illegal storage of weapons.

There are also three suspects in the case who have not yet been charged: the brother of Anzor Gubashev Shadid Gubashev , who worked as a driver; Former ROVD employee of the Silkovsky district of Chechnya Tamerlan Eskerkhanov ; Hamzat Bakhaev - according to RBC, a large father. According to Russia 24, Shadid lived with Anzor in the village of Kozino, Odintsovo district. According to the channel, the neighbors regularly complained about them-because of their aggressive behavior. Eskerkhanov and Bakhaev lived in Moscow.

According to Rosbalt, Dadaev was long familiar with all the defendants in the case. RBC reports that Zaur Dadaev and the Gubashev brothers come from the Chechens clan, who lived in the Itum-Kalinsky district of Chechnya, and in the 1970s moved to the Malgobek district of Ingushetia.

Where they were detained

According to RBC, on March 7, Zaura Dadaev was detained in Grozny. According to brother Dadaev, his relative was detained in Ingushetia. The Gubashevs and Eskerkhanov brothers were taken in the same republic. Bakhaev was detained in the suburbs.

Another alleged suspect Beslan Shavanov (Shivaev) , according to the source of the Caucasian Knot, was blown up on a grenade on March 7 when they tried to detain him in Grozny. Shavanov, according to unofficial data, just like Dadaev, served in the North battalion - and quit shortly before his death. Ramzan Kadyrov knew Shavanov as a "courageous warrior."

How many are the defendants of the case arrested

The accused Zaur Dadaev and Anzor Gubashev were arrested until April 28. Three suspects were arrested until May 7 and 8. Most likely, the terms of arrests will be extended.

Whether the defendants admit the case of their guilt

Four do not recognize. The decision of the Basmanny Court of Moscow on the arrest of Zaur Dadaev says that he pleaded guilty. But the Moscow City Court emphasizes that confession indications are said only in the investigation documents.

Was the customer of the murder of Nemtsov

Initially, the investigation had five versions of the murder of a politician. According to the first, someone wanted to “destabilize the situation” in the country, making Boris Nemtsov a “sacred victim”. The second version is revenge for condemning the execution of the editorial office of Charlie Hebdo, which printed cartoons on the Prophet Muhammad. According to the third version, Nemtsov could kill the participants in the military conflict in Ukraine. The fourth version, as stated in the UK, is associated with the “commercial activity of Nemtsov”, although nothing is known about the policy of politics. Finally, the investigation did not discard the version and the version, according to which politics could kill on the basis of personal hostility (for example, Lifenews distributed reports of his relationship with the Ukrainian model Anna Duritskaya, who supposedly became pregnant from Nemtsov and had an abortion).

Judging by media reports, now there are two main versions. According to Rosbalt, the investigation is inclined to the fact that Dadaev and the Shavanov undermined on the grenade decided to kill Nemtsov, since he did not condemn the cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad. According to the publication, Dadaev and Shavanov, having quit from law enforcement agencies, discussed religious topics and eventually decided to kill some public figure who did not share their point of view about caricatures on the prophet. According to Rosbalt, there was no murder.

If you believe the Moscow Komsomol member, this version does not withstand criticism . “MK” writes that the car of the alleged killers of the politician appeared in the area of ​​Boris Nemtsov’s house in the fall of 2014 - long before the Islamists killed Charlie Hebdo cartoons.

According to Kommersant, the second working version is that Nemtsov was killed “with the aim of provoking” on the eve of the opposition march planned on March 1. If this version is confirmed, then the customer of the murder was still there, the newspaper notes.
