Russian MoJ to complain against ECtHR's decision on the claim of Dadaev's relative

The decision of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), obliging Russia to pay 120,000 euros to relatives of Zaur Dadaev, a former power agent from Chechnya, who is now accused of killing Boris Nemtsov, will be appealed against before April 15, said the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) of Russia.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that this January the Dadaev and Shavanov families managed to adjudge, with the help of the ECtHR, 120,000 euros from the authorities of Russia. The applicant of the claim was Larissa Dadaeva, Zaur Dadaev's aunt. She claimed that power agents had kidnapped her husband Mairbek Shavanov and his brother Aslambek.

As emphasized by the press service of the MoJ, the issue of payment of the compensation, awarded by the ECtHR, will be solved only after the ECtHR has considered the appeal of the Russian authorities, the "Interfax" writes.

According to the Human Rights Centre (HRC) "Memorial", although officially Chechen power agents denied their involvement in the disappearance of Mairbek and Aslambek Shavanov, unofficially, the military commander of the Urus-Martan District admitted that after detention they had been brought to the district branch of the FSB.

According to the police, in the evening of March 7, 2015, in Grozny, Bislan (Beslan) Shavanov, 30, was killed by a grenade explosion. Zaur Dadaev, who is now accused of killing Boris Nemtsov, took his military service in the same battalion with Shavanov.
