In an interview with the Voice of Russia, the lawyer of Abdulbaki Todashev, Zaurbek Sadakhanov, qualified what the FBI agents did with Ibragim Todashev as a deliberate murder. “Today, we saw photos of the killed Ibragim,” Mr. Sadakhanov said. “Judging by these photos, they shot at him 7 times. One of these shots was at the back of his head, so, this shot was obviously unexpected by him. It is hard to say which shots were made earlier and which later.”
“This incident raises many questions,” Zaurbek Sadakhanov continued, “and I hope that all of them will be thoroughly investigated. Thus, it looks very strange that the FBI agents came to Todashev’s place instead of ordering him to come to a police office. Then, why was he integrated without a lawyer, although this was already his third interrogation? Todashev was going to leave for Chechnya on May 24, and he already had a ticket, but the FBI did not allow him to leave the US, saying that he will have another interrogation. Then, why did they shot at him as many as 7 times? There were 5 policemen, and Todashev was alone in his flat, so one bullet was quite enough to kill him.”
