The jury in the Italian capital of Rome ruled to release the Russian Rasul Bisultanov, suspected of the murder of the Italian Niccolo Chatti. TASS reports.
A native of Chechnya, Bisultanov came under suspicion of Italian law enforcement officers in 2017. Then, while vacationing in the Spanish resort of Lloret de Mar, during a scuffle, he allegedly fatally wounded an Italian. The release of a citizen of the Russian Federation from custody, according to reports from the courtroom, was the result of a procedural error.
According to the court's opinion, Bisultanov was not on the territory of Italy when the law enforcement agencies of the republic issued a decree on his preliminary detention. At that moment Bisultanov was in Germany. It is reported that Bisultanov has already left the Roman prison of Rebibbia. His family is currently living in France with refugee status.
Earlier it became known that in Germany came into force a sentence to the Russian Vadim Sokolov (Krasikov), whom the German court found guilty of the murder of the citizen of Georgia Zelimkhan Khangoshvili, committed 2.5 years ago in Berlin. According to the court's verdict, the Russian was sentenced to life imprisonment.
