Russian justice was put in the dock in the trial of the alleged killers of Anna Politkovskaya. And Russian justice was found wanting.
Three men accused of involvement in the campaigning journalist’s 2006 murder in Moscow were acquitted last week in a case marred by signs of official negligence and obstruction.
Two were Chechen brothers who allegedly spied on Politkovskaya. A third brother, the alleged killer, was absent and is believed to be on the run. The third man on trial was a former policeman, accused of organising the three brothers.
