moscow has always denied any involvement in the killing what relation does this incident have to the russian authorities these are absolutely groundless assumptions. at least 2 attempts have been made and congress released life before he moved to germany and 2016 hiding from the russian secret service his family followed believing they were safe here on the coast and we were warned something could happen at some point but i never thought such a brutal attack could take place so easily here in germany where the security services the police and the law are among the strongest in the world. i say. the contract killer is known as modern k. arrived in germany shortly before the attack using a fake identity now germany's federal prosecutor has gathered enough evidence to charge him with murder but the accused man they say was acting under orders from the russian government. for more now i'm joined by roman to broker a thaw in moscow he is the editor in chief of the investigative online newspaper the insider roman welcome to the program your paper put it as your paper has played a key role
