The trial of suspected killers of Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya, killed in October 2006, began yesterday in the Military Court of Moscow and will open to the public, as the judge announced shortly after the opening of the hearing. The representative of the public prosecution requested that the trial was held behind closed doors, claiming the existence of secret documents in the process, but the judge rejected the request Evgueni Jukov, going to meet the lawyers for the defense.
In the dock are four alleged perpetrators of the assassination that killed the reporter, among them a former captain of the Directorate for Combating of banditry in Russia and former staff member of the security services.
