An investigation from Bellingcat, The Insider, and BBC Eye Investigations reveals evidence that in the year running up to his murder, Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov was being shadowed by a government agent linked to a secret assassination squad.
In February 2015, Nemtsov—a fierce critic of Vladimir Putin—was shot dead on a bridge in the shadow of the Kremlin.
Five men were convicted for his murder, but questions remained about who ordered the killing.
