Was vom Mordprozess um den verstorbenen Ex-Botschafter Rachat Alijew blieb: ein Wettbewerb um die Deutung des Geschworenen-Entscheids. Und viel verbrannte Erde.

Verein Tagdyr – Ein ziemlich aufreizendes Urteil Da wurden zwei Männer gefoltert und umgebracht. Ein Mord bleibt immer ein Mord. Und Herr Alijew steht im dringenden Verdacht, damit etwas zu tun zu haben. — Richard Soyer

Should a number of “witnesses” now appearing in court downtown Vienna in the murder trial against two of the surviving associates of Rakhat Aliyev, the main culprit in the murder case of two executives of Kazakhstan’s Nurbank back in 2007 in Almaty, in fact be seen as co-defendants? In trials during which murder scenarios are supposed to be unraveled in full detail, it is not unusual that witnesses appear to have been involved in the criminal acts on the table or in other related criminal acts. In such cases, the judge can order their immediate arrest pending charges. Apparently not in Austria – at least not in a case where the judge has all but become suspect himself. Attempts to have him replaced remain unsuccessful – not in the least because the case also implicates a number of people in very high places among the Austrian political and civil elites.

Verein Tagdyr – The Aliyev proceedings: a tale of horned judges and devil’s advocates We have ascertained the fact that back in 2006 Rustam Ibragimov told FBI agents that it was Rakhat Aliyev who had ordered the murder. — Andrei Kravchenko, Deputy Prosecutor General of Kazakhstan
