Germany has expelled two Russian diplomats after federal prosecutors concluded that there were 'enough indications' that either the Kremlin or the Moscow-backed Chechen government were behind the brazen daytime slaying of a Georgian national.
Moscow has denied any involvement with the murder, but immediately after the prosecutor's statement, the Foreign Ministry announced the expulsion of two Russian diplomats, citing a lack of cooperation with the investigation.
Prosecutors said Tornike K. who had previously fought alongside anti-Moscow separatists in Chechnya, “was classified and sought by Russian authorities as a terrorist.” He had previously survived multiple assassination attempts and continued to receive threats after fleeing to Germany.
