An Istanbul prosecutor has demanded a total of 37 years in jail for three Russians over their suspected involvement in the assassination of a Chechen militant in 2015 and spying activities, daily Habertürk reported on Sept. 7. 

The indictment was reported to have prepared in February 2017 but its details have only recently come to light. 

Two Russian "spies" alleged to be involved in the killing of Chechen militant Abdulvakhid Edelgireyev in Turkey were caught in a joint operation that took six months to prepare by the National Intelligence Organization (M?T) and police on April 8 in Istanbul, a report has claimed.
