A German court has convicted a Russian man of plotting the murder of an exiled Chechen dissident on orders from a cousin of Chechnya's strongman leader, Ramzan Kadyrov.
The witness initially pretended to go ahead with the plan and entered Germany as an asylum-seeker, according to the court. He then disclosed the plan to a fellow resident at his refugee shelter, and informed Abdurakhmanov and his brother of the plan in a December 2020 phone call. The suspect was arrested in January 2021 after the intended target informed police.
The defense had pleaded for acquittal on most counts, arguing that the defendant only breached weapons laws. Abdurakhmanov joined the trial as a co-plaintiff, as German law allows. He said after the verdict: “I will continue my political activity.”
