Moscow: Russian President Vladimir Putin has asked the law enforcement agencies to make the country secure against what he called “disgrace of political murders."
“The most serious attention should be paid to high-profile crimes, including those having political motives," Putin said at the meeting of the Board of the Russian Interior Ministry on Wednesday. He was referring to last week’s murder of prominent opposition leader Boris Nemtsov.
“Russia should be made secure at last from the disgrace and tragedies of the kind we all experienced and witnessed just recently. I am referring to the daring killing of Boris Nemtsov in the very heart of our capital city,” Putin said.
The Russian Federal Security Service said today the first suspects in Nemtsov’s murder have been identified. The investigators are pursuing several leads, including a contract killing.
Russian Security Service chief Alexander Bortnikov said there are suspects in the investigation.
“There are always some,” he told reporters.
The Russian Investigative Committee has announced $50,000 reward for information on the murder of Nemtsov.
Putin has ordered the Investigative Committee, the Interior Ministry and the Federal Security Service to create a joint investigative team to find the killers.
