Bellingcat, an investigative journalism website, writes that its months-long investigation, with The Insider and Der Spiegel, has uncovered that the assassination of Georgian citizen of Chechen origin Zelimkhan Khangoshvili in Berlin last August ‘was planned and organized by Russia’s FSB security agency.’ 

Bellincat says that the preparation for the murder was supervised directly by Eduard Bendersky, chairman of the Vympel Charitable Fund For Former FSB Spetsnaz Officers, and other senior members of the fund, ‘apparently to provide a veneer of deniability’.
