As far as I understood (I speak both Ukrainian and Russian languages) it was necessary to gather solid evidence against the organizer of the crime, who paid for the assassination of the journalist.
The would-be assassin was an undercover Ukrainian agent, and he’ll be one of the key witnesses in the criminal case that will follow.
Locking the organizer up will save more than one man’s life, both directly (other people who’s killing he might have organized in the future) and indirectly (because of the media coverage of this case, the price tag might raise a lot).
- mhneu 8y agoWow. If this was a sting that implicates Russia in paying for assassinating the journalist -- wow.
- Const-me 8y agoThe survived journalist has told to the press the organizer has gave the “assassin” the journalist’s photo identical to the photo in his Russian passport. I’m not a lawyer but that looks like an indirect evidence pointing towards Russian government.
- lostlogin 8y agoIt’s not in any way a secret that Russia kills journalists. The Russian state has been doing it for a very long time and shows no sign of stopping.
