Zelimkhan Khangoshvili Biography

Zelimkhan Khangoshvili is one of the most popular and richest Military Officer who was born on August 15, 1979 in Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic, Georgia.

Zelimkhan “Tornike” Khangoshvili (Georgian: ზელიმხან ხანგოშვილი ; 15 August 1979 – 23 August 2019) was an ethnic Chechen Georgian who was a former military commander for the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria during the Second Chechen War, and a Georgian military officer during the 2008 Russo-Georgian War. Later on, he allegedly turned into a useful source of intelligence for Georgian intelligence by identifying Russian spies and jihadists operating on domestic and foreign soil through a connection with Georgian intelligence agents. Khangoshvili continued to be considered a terrorist by Russian security service, the FSB and wanted in Russia.

In 2001, Khangoshvili joined the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria in its fight against Russia during the Second Chechen War. Khangoshvili was a field commander and had close ties to former Chechen president Aslan Maskhadov. Maskhadov was killed in a 2005 raid by the FSB, Russia’s domestic intelligence agency. According to Khangoshvili’s brother, Zurab, Zelimkhan participated in the June 2004 attack on security, military and police forces in Ingushetia and Dagestan, in which over 50 military personnel were killed; Zelimkhan himself was seriously wounded in the leg during the operation. Russian President Putin claimed that he was one of the perpetrators of the 2010 Moscow Metro bombings which left 40 people dead. After returning to his native Georgia, Khangoshvili commanded a Georgian anti-terror military unit in South Ossetia during the 2008 war, but his unit was never deployed. In 2016, Khangoshvili and his family, wife and four children, sought refuge in Germany after several attempts on his life in Georgia which his brother believes were orchestrated by Russian intelligence, although the accusation has been denied by the Russian authorities.

German police are said to be undetermined whether Vladimir Stepanov is in fact the person behind the Vadim Sokolov persona. The open source investigative team at Bellingcat and its investigative partners Der Spiegel, The Insider [ru] and the Dossier Centre, have concluded however that the suspect held by German police is unlikely to be Vladimir Stepanov. The same finding was reached independently by the St. Petersburg-based online newspaper Fontanka.ru [ru] , that claimed in a 26 September 2019 report that Vladimir Stepanov remains in a Russian prison. Bellingcat and its partners have stated that conclusive evidence proves that the suspect traveled to Berlin under a cover identity with the active support of the Russian state and that the Russian state “created a comprehensive, back-dated paper-trail for this fictitious persona in order to help him obtain the necessary travel and insurance documents, and crucially, a Schengen visa.”
