Zelimkhan Sultanovich Khangoshvili (Chechen: Хангин Султан-кIант Зелимхан, Georgian: ზელიმხან სულთანის ძე ხანგოშვილი, Russian: Зелимхан Султанович Хангошвили; 15 August 1979 – 23 August 2019) was an ethnic Chechen born in Georgia who was a former platoon commander for the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria as a volunteer 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 information for the Georgian Intelligence Service by identifying Russian spies and jihadists operating on domestic and foreign soil to Georgian intelligence agents.[1] Khangoshvili was considered a terrorist by the Government of the Russian Federation, the Federal Security Service (FSB RF), and wanted in Russia.[2][3] On 23 August 2019, Khangoshvili was assassinated in Kleiner Tiergarten, a park in Berlin by FSB operative Vadim Krasikov.[2][4]
