The executors of the murder of the co-chair of the RPR-Parnas Boris Nemtsov could receive an order for a crime in mid-2014, the investigation said. This was reported by Interfax with reference to a source familiar with the situation.
"The investigation shows that in the fall, active preparation of the murder has already begun, and the order was received even earlier," the agency’s interlocutor said.
The investigation has evidence that the crime performers began to prepare for murder in October-November 2014, another source of the agency said. "The dates of purchasing a car, renting apartments with arrested defendants confirm this version. Wrong recordings from video surveillance cameras at the Nemtsov house were also studied," he said. These operational data are confirmed by the testimony of some witnesses.
“This is not news for me. I always said that, according to a number of data, the preparation of the murder began no later than the end of autumn,” said Vadim Prokhorov’s lawyer in the case.
On Tuesday, Rosbalt said that according to the testimony of an unnamed witness at a confrontation with the alleged crime performer Zaur Dadaev, the murder of Nemtsov was prepared back in November 2014 . According to the witness, in November 2014 he accidentally met with Dadaev, who had not been not familiar to him. At the same time, the witness realized that Dadaev was preparing some serious crime.
The testimony of the witness question the main version of the TFR that Nemtsov was killed due to his statements about the tragedy in the editorial office of Charlie Hebdo, the source notes. The attack in Paris occurred much later than Dadaev’s meeting with a witness. According to the source of the agency, the final version of the prosecution may appear that the crime was committed because of the disagreement of criminals with the socio-political acts of the co-chairman of the RPR-Parnas.
On July 1, it became known about the content of the testimony that Anzor Gubashev gave one of the accused of a crime on March 18. “Initially, I did not like my statements in which I defeated the honor of our state, provoked the people with their performances. The opposition was muddied, I wanted to make some march,” Kommersant quoted. “As the war in Ukraine began, Nemtsov began to agit, spoke there. Then he came here and said that we were doing something wrong, that the world war could have begun for us. That we were wrong.
At the same time, Gubashev insisted that the main reason for the murder was that the politician “touched our prophet”, supporting the publication of caricatures on him together with US President Francois Obama and French President.
Later, Gubashev refused his testimony.
Meanwhile, on March 10, the Moscow Komsomolets reported that Nemtsov’s killers have been following their victim since the fall of 2014 . They purchased a car used in the crime in September. At the same time, in the fall, camcorders fixed the car on the horde, not far from the house of Nemtsov. The publication already noted that this questioned the version of murder for religious considerations.
