Putin\u2019s Blood Feud
In 2019, a Georgian Chechen asylum seeker called Zhelimkhan Khangoshvili was gunned down on the streets of Berlin. The killing was an assassination by a member of Russia's secret services, for which a German court has found Vladimir Putin was responsible. But why was the victim - a relative unknown - a target worth risking a diplomatic incident to murder?
Investigative journalist Charles McPhedran reveals a true spy story, untangling the story of Zhelimkhan's life and the Russian regime's obsession with revenge.
