MOSCOW, July 10 (RAPSI) - The Presnensky District Court of Moscow will hear a case on the distribution of deceased opposition politician Boris Nemtsov’s inheritance, RAPSI reports Friday citing the court’s press service.

“The court has received a lawsuit from Yekaterina Iftodi that names Zhanna, Anton and Diana, Nemtsov’s children, as the defendants. The plaintiff is suing for Boris Nemtsov to be recognized as the father of her son who would thus be entitled to a share of his inheritance,” the court representative said.

The spokesperson did not specify the disputed assets to maintain the privacy of the parties. The pretrial hearing is scheduled for July 16.

Vadim Prokhorov, the attorney for Nemtsov’s family, did not comment on the case.

“Iftodi has filed lawsuits before, but she has always lost,” he said.

Nemtsov was murdered in central Moscow on the night of February 28. In the 1990s, the politician held a number of high-ranking posts in the Russian Government. In the 2000s, he joined the opposition.

Five suspects were detained in the case, including the alleged murdered Zaur Dadayev, brothers Anzor and Shadid Gubashev, and Khamzat Bakhayev who, according to investigators, provided his accomplices with information and hid them after the murder. The fifth suspect, Temerlan Eskerkhanov is said to have monitored Nemtsov’s whereabouts. Investigators have not revealed the suspected role of the Gubashev brothers in the crime.
