MOSCOW - The family of the opposition politician Boris Nemtsov who was killed in central Moscow a year ago, will not sue his suspected murders for compensation for the material and moral harm.
“We have a consolidated opinion that we will not demand any money from them. We need this murder to be resolved, but taking bloodstained money is wrong,” the victims’ lawyer Vadim Prokhorov told Interfax.
This week the defense party finished reviewing documentation in the criminal case against five murder suspects whose lawyers are now to review the case files. After that, if the indictment is approved by prosecutors, the case will be sent to the court for trial. By law, the victims are entitled to claim compensation from the defendants.
On April 3, 2015, investigators granted victim status to Nemtsov’s children. “It is already possible to state that Zhanna, Dina, Anton and Sofya Nemtsovs have been classified as victims in the case,” the lawyer told Interfax at the time.
