BERLIN, December 15. /TASS/: A German court has sentenced a Russian national to life imprisonment over the high-profile murder of Zelimkhan Khangoshvili, a Georgian citizen, the presiding judge reported on Wednesday.
The case has been pending since October 2020 under heightened security conditions. The court found the Russian guilty of the murder and noted the particular severity of this crime. That said, the judge noted that "undoubtedly Khangoshvili was responsible for people’s deaths" when he collaborated with Chechen militants.
He also said that during the arrest he was found in possession of a Glock pistol and a Russian passport in the name of Vadim Sokolov.
