Former Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov was reportedly shadowed by Russian agents on more than a dozen trips prior to his high-profile murder in 2015.
Russian President Vladimir Putin's biggest critic at the time was followed for 10 months leading up to his death by agents linked to the Russian Federal Security Service, according to an investigation by Bellingcat, Insider, and BBC.KREMLIN IS FURIOUS WITH BIDEN OVER 'KILLER' COMMENTS AS EXPERTS SEE NEW LOW IN U.S.-RUSSIA RELATIONS
Sukharev has also been linked to tailing Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny in 2017 during his presidential campaign and possibly his poisoning in 2020. "Among Nemtsov’s final projects before he was killed in 2015 was a report exposing Russia’s military intervention in Ukraine, which President Vladimir Putin had denied. Though police ransacked Nemtsov’s apartment and confiscated his writings after his murder, they could not erase his legacy," the Department of State said in a statement on the seventh anniversary of Nemstov's death in February.
