TASS: Detention of Russian politician's murder mastermind is "matter of time"

Official spokesman for Russia's Investigative Committee Vladimir Markin has responded to Monday's statement of U.S. State Department spokesman John Kirby who called on the Russian government to "ensure that all those responsible for his killing are brought to justice," according to Russian news agency TASS.

"At first glance, the statements of Western representatives with calls to bring to justice all those guilty in Nemtsov's killing seem to be just a little bit strange," Markin said, TASS wrote.

"In fact, they know well that Russia's Investigative Committee works efficiently and jointly with operative services has solved this complicated criminal case that will be sent to court after the accused persons and lawyers familiarize with it," Markin said.

Markin stressed that "detention of organizer of the murder who is on the international wanted list, as is well-known, is just a matter of time."

Nemtsov, co-chairman of the RPR-Parnas political party, was shot dead in downtown Moscow on February 27, 2015. Five men, including suspected perpetrator Zaur Dadayev, have been formally charged in the murder case. They do not admit their guilt...........
