BERLIN (Reuters) – A German court on Wednesday found Russian citizen Vadim Krasikov guilty of the August 2019 murder of Tornike Khangoshvili, an ethnic Chechen of Georgian nationality, in a central Berlin park, and sentenced him to life imprisonment.
The court said his crime, believed by prosecutors to have been ordered by Russian state security, was of particular gravity.
Khangoshvili was shot dead at close range in broad daylight on Aug. 23, 2019. Police arrested Krasikov later the same day.
