Im brian thomas good to have you with us today we begin with a case that is straining relations between berlin and moscow a long awaited trial has opened here in berlin of a russian man charged with the contract killing apparently word by the kremlin of a 55 for year old hes accused of the daylight shooting of a former chechen commander in a park here in berlin. Welcome to the capital of spice the German Spy Museum in berlin recently added this so called to god murdered to its exits the man in the advertisement is still there to contract killer classic off. This case has all the ingredients of a political thriller in august of last year the russian citizen to vote in quest of travelled from moscow via paris and torso to berlin under false identity. Prescott is alleged to have of porsches victim on a bicycle in a small park in berlin the victim was a church in exile seeking asylum in germany he was killed with 3 gunshots from close range chris because then allegedly threw his gun and bicycle into the kneebone river and tried to escape but was caught shortly afterwards he was arrested and has been silent ever since. But thats a special situation that in this case we have the suspect we have the person who is accused of murder so we have evidence we have the fingerprints we have pictures if you compare it was a screen or was a not only case we didnt have any person that we can question so i think this is sort of quite you need to do a show right now according to investigators state on crescent of small fun indicates that the crime was carefully planned they say they have found links to the russian that runs association of the Domestic Intelligence service if a speech which several investigative journalists believe is just a cover. We can see that virgin classic off the killer started visiting a very speed Training Centers because earlier spring 2019 security. Employees are prepared for special operations there. As the day of the murder approached he commune. More and more often with f. S. B. Employees. Towards the end it was almost every day. The victim the same can 100 shia had fought on the side of the rebels in the 2nd set or moscow had designated him a terrorist. This man was on our wanted list hes a fighter a cruel and bloodthirsty person. Or we truly the kremlin denies any responsibility for their attack non of germanys 17 inquiries received a response it was to request full Legal Assistance were answered in the to quickly see the German Authorities there in stone to whats moscow is sharpening. The federal government reserves the right to take further measures in this case before. The German Federal prosecutor may have brought charges against that in classical but politically just say that in reality the russian state is in the dark. Lets go live to the court where this trial started today and it appears the manual shahs a good day to you amanda well can you tell us more about the prosecutors case against the defendant. Well all indicators point point towards russian ties to this murder of a suspect traveled here in germany under a false identity boats with russian passports oh so when he was arrested he immediately received support and was visited by russian officials from the Russian Embassy here in berlin and as we heard in the report he was in the days prior to the murder in touch with Russian Intelligence Services so thats the case against him there was a very short session here in court today which already ended where the prosecution was read out and tomorrow the session will resume with witnesses coming to testify here in ca there are 7 Co Plaintiffs in that case. These proceedings calm as the relations between germany and russia are very strained. Dauber is train and also not least because russia declined to assist the german investigation there were 17 requests as weve heard into a report from the German Government towards russia also foreign minister travel to russia to try and talk with the outside there so thats a case thats a really strained a relationship and this comes these trial comes at a time where there the tensions are at their peak between the 2 countries was to say nevada these oppose on the case and just as the organizations sort of prohibition of chemical weapons confirmed that alex they have on the russian open and to apply to me putin has been poisoned we see nerve agents and not be charged this is a nerve agent which was developed by the Russian Intelligence Services back into as seventys so tension really have really rise in between germany and russia with all the states with all this in mind how might the German Government react should the court agree with the prosecution that russia was behind the killing. Of should those ties be proven to exist between russian authorities and thats murder then germany would probably most likely take action the foreign minister i can say that he would wait until the verdict until until he will germany with make a decision but thats not forget thats germany. Holding the e. U. Presidency up until the end of this year and will also be wanting and willing to implement to impose sanctions against russia perhaps thats a european level and this could for example take the form of economy sections much more on this trial of course as it moves forward among the well for now thanks very much.
