Chechen President’s Horse Groom Pleads Not Guilty

A trial in the case of the assassination of Sulim Yamadayev, an opponent of Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov, started in Dubai. (Controversy remains over whether Yamadayev died in the attack.) The two defendants - one of whom, Iranian citizen Mahdi Lornia, is Kadyrov's horse groom - pleaded not guilty. Lornia allegedly passed a Russian-made gold-plated gun to the attacker. Seven Russian citizens, including Kadyrov’s cousin, Russian State Duma deputy Adam Delimkhanov, are on the Interpol wanted list in connection with the crime.
