Executive disclosure

Deputy Prosecutor Grin, Viktor Grin, approved the indictment in the case of the murder of the co-chair of the RPR-Parnas Boris Nemtsov. This was reported on the website of the supervisory authority. The case was sent to the Moscow District Military Court.

Five citizens are accused of involvement in the murder: Zaur Dadaev, the Anzor and Shadid Gubashevs, Tamerlan Eskerkhanov and Khamzat Bakhaev. Each of them has been charged with points "Z", "s" of part 2 of Article 105 (hiring murder as part of an organized group) and part 3 of Article 222 of the Criminal Code (illegal turnover of weapons). The maximum punishment on the first of these accusations is the death penalty.

The criminal prosecution of another person involved - Beslan Shavanov, who died in March 2015 during a detention in Grozny - was discontinued in connection with his death, that is, on an non -rehabilitating basis.

In separate proceedings, the case was allocated against the Kadyrovsets Ruslan Mukhudinov, who calls the accusation the customer and the organizer of the murder, as well as "other unidentified persons."

It is claimed that at the end of September 2014, Mukhudinov and other persons proposed five accused and Shavanov to kill Nemtsov, promising at least 15 million rubles for this. They accepted the proposal. Dadaev and Shavanov, like Mukhudinov, served in the Kadyrovsky battalion of the North internal troops. Eskerkhanov is a former police officer in Chechnya.

On February 27, 2015, at about 23:31 Dadaev, following Nemtsov and his friend Anna Duritskaya along the Big Moskvoretsky bridge in the Russian capital, shot at least six times to politics. He died on the spot.

During the murder, the accusation calls Anzor Gubashev and Shavanov direct accomplices of Dadaev. It is claimed that all three immediately after the murder of Nemtsov disappeared, and other defendants in the case, just like Mukhudinov and other persons, helped Dadaev, Anzor Gubashev and Shavanov "hide from law enforcement agencies, contributed to their speedy departure beyond the Moscow region."

Meanwhile, the lawyers of the relatives of Nemtsov, who were undergoing victims in the case, from the very beginning of the investigation skeptically evaluated his conclusions. In particular, they perceived with distrust of the statement that Mukhudinov was a customer of the crime. According to lawyers, he is a maximum organizer, and then the lower level. Also, lawyers unsuccessfully demanded that the Kadyrovsets Ruslan Geremeyev, whose Mukhudinov worked as a driver, to be prosecuted.

In turn, the accused refused the initial testimony, referring to the torture that they were subjected to after the detention. They stated that Nemtsova shot the late Shavanov, and they themselves were drawn into the crime by deception, without explaining that it was a murder.

Dadaev and Eskerkhanov at different times sent complaints about torture and sabotage of their investigation to the ECHR.
