Five Chechen men have gone on trial in Moscow accused of killing the Russian opposition politician Boris Nemtsov. Their lawyers told the court that the investigation was neither effective nor comprehensive. She also noted that no video of the killing had been presented, despite it taking place next to the Kremlin. Ruslan Mukhudinov, a driver for officers of the Sever battalion, who was charged by investigators with organising the crime, has not been arrested. Dadayev was a member of the Sever battalion until the day after Nemtsov’s killing and security experts said he could not have committed such a crime without approval from the Chechen leadership.
