PACE will be heard about the murder of Nemtsov

On January 25, a hearing on the topic "should PACE take control of the investigation of the murder of Boris Nemtsov will be held at the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe." This was reported by "Kommersant" with reference to the deputy of the Sejm Lithuania Emanuelis Zingeris. “It is important for us to hear the voice of the injured side - the family of Boris Nemtsov, his associates - and decide which of the tools of international law we will use if it becomes clear that the tools within Russia are not enough to clarify,” said the interlocutor of the publication.

The daughter of the late politician Zhanna Nemtsov, Chairman of Parnassus Mikhail Kasyanov and his deputy Vladimir Kara-Murza Jr., a family lawyer Vadim Prokhorov were invited to the hearing. Kara-Murza told the publication that since "the Russian investigation is unsatisfactory," Nemtsov’s daughter and colleagues will seek a special speaker to investigate the murder.

Prokhorov, in turn, remarked: “To this day, the successes of the Russian investigation ... are connected exclusively with the detention of crime performers. No work is carried out to establish its customers, and the only organizer that has not been detained is an unimicted person Ruslan Mukhudinov.” The lawyer complained: "It is unfortunate that in the immediate environment (head of Chechnya) Ramzan Kadyrov is not carried out by investigative actions."

On Wednesday, the chairman of the Investigative Committee, Alexander Bastrykin, in an interview with Rossiy Gazeta, called the murder of Nemtsov among the crimes disclosed in 2015. Zhanna Nemtsova, however, noted that her petition for the interrogation of Kadyrov and members of her environment "was satisfied only in terms of interrogation (officer of the North internal troops battalion) Ruslan Geremeyev." “However, even an absentee accusation was not brought against him,” the daughter of the deceased politician added. “Attempts to appeal in court to the interrogation of the persons named in court turned out to be unsuccessful."

The other day it became known that Russia refused to participate in the Winter Session PACE, which opens precisely on January 25.

On Wednesday, the media reported that the investigators of the Investigative Committee twice tried to charge Geremeyev in absentia , but Bastrykin both once refused to sign the corresponding resolution.
