Dadaev tells court about his non-involvement in Nemtsov’s murder

Zaur Dadaev has stated at the Moscow District Military Court that he was at home on the day of the murder of Boris Nemtsov. He added that in December 2014 he participated in the liberation of the buildings captured by militants in Grozny.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that today the court began questioning Zaur Dadaev.

Boris Nemtsov was shot dead on February 27, 2015, in Moscow. The defendants in the case are the natives of Chechnya and Ingushetia Zaur Dadaev, the brothers Anzor and Shagid (also named by mass media as Shadid) Gubashev, Tamerlan Eskerkhanov and Khamzat Bakhaev. Investigators believe that Ruslan Mukhudinov was the customer of the murder.

The advocate Tsakaev drew attention to the results of examinations, according to which particles of shot traces were found on Dadaev's hands.

"I took part in the special operation of liberating the Press House and the school in Grozny on December 2-3, 2014," Dadaev has explained.
