A court in Germany has sentenced a Russian man to life in prison for shooting dead a Georgian of Chechen ethnicity in a Berlin park two years ago.
The court found Vadim Krasikov guilty of gunning down Zelimkhan Khangoshvili at close range in August 2019.
Judges said the Russian state had ordered the murder, which it denies.
Wednesday’s verdict could damage already strained relations between Germany and Russia.
In a statement Russia’s ambassador to Germany, Sergei Nechayev, said the verdict was a “politically-motivated decision”.
