In addition, in December 2019, Germany formally applied to Russia twice for legal aid. According to the Ministry of Justice, the last response from the Office of the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation was received on June 2, 2020, but he did not make a significant contribution to the investigation.

Zelimkhan Khangoshvili was killed in Berlin on 23 August 2019. The Berlin Police arrested 48 years old Russian citizen on suspicion of killing.
