Prosecutors on Wednesday charged an ethnic Chechen with murder in last year’s slaying of an American journalist, according to Russian news reports.
Muslim Ibragimov, also known as Kazbek Dukuzov, was accused of involvement in the contract slaying of Paul Klebnikov, 41, editor of Forbes magazine’s Russian edition, the Interfax and ITAR-Tass news agencies reported, citing the Prosecutor General’s Office.
No one in that office was available to confirm the report.
Klebnikov, an American of Russian descent, was gunned down July 9 outside the magazine’s office as he left for home. A colleague from the Russian edition of Newsweek who came to Klebnikov’s aid said the dying journalist could give no information about the attack.
