Aus aktuellem Anlass - ob KGB, SVR oder FSB etc. ist hier letztlich nur nebensächlich. Ich habe bewusst mal Al Jazeera gewählt als Quelle, um etwas international nach der Meinung zu suchen...

Zitat:Russian convicted of ‘state-contracted killing’ in Berlin parkhttps://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/12/1...ed-killing
Vadim Krasikov sentenced to life in prison for murdering Zelimkhan ‘Tornike’ Khangoshvili, an ethnic Chechen of Georgian nationality. [...] Berlin’s regional court has sentenced a Russian man to life in prison for a killing in Germany’s capital two years ago that prosecutors say was ordered by Moscow.
The 2019 slaying of Zelimkhan “Tornike” Khangoshvili, a 40-year-old ethnic Chechen of Georgian nationality, sparked outrage in Germany and inflamed diplomatic tensions between Berlin and Moscow. [...] The court on Wednesday found 56-year-old Vadim Krasikov guilty of murder. Prosecutors said the killing was an act of retaliation for Khangoshvili’s participation in the second Chechen war and his “enmity towards the Russian state”. [...] Judges said Krasikov bore “particularly grave responsibility” for the slaying, meaning he will not be entitled to the automatic parole after 15 years that is customary in Germany. [...]
“We consider this verdict to be a biased, politically-motivated decision that seriously aggravates already difficult Russian-German relations,” Russia’s ambassador to Germany, Sergei Nechayev, said in a statement. The outcome of the trial could stoke fresh tensions between Germany and Russia at a time when the new government of Chancellor Olaf Scholz is trying to find its foreign policy footing with Moscow.
