Kostyuchenko says she was later questioned by a German senior detective who had run the investigation into the killing of Zelimkhan Khangoshvili, a Chechen exile shot dead by a Russian assassin in a park in central Berlin in 2019. The decision to reopen the investigation was due to “further considerations” of the circumstances rather than newly emerged evidence.
