Valid D is accused of plotting to kill a dissident from Russia’s Chechen Republic on the orders of the region’s leader. Germany has put a Russian man on trial over a plot to kill a dissident from Russia’s Chechen Republic on the orders of the region’s leader Ramzan Kadyrov. “A member of the security apparatus of Chechen president Ramzan Kadyrov commissioned the accused Valid D with the logistical organisation of the killing of an opposition member” in the first half of 2020, prosecutors said. A German court in December last year sentenced a Russian man to life in prison for shooting dead a former Chechen commander in a Berlin park in broad daylight, a murder prosecutors say was ordered by Moscow.
