Orlov said: "I know, I am certain who is to blame for the murder of Natasha Estemirova. We all know this person. His name is Ramzan Kadyrov, the president of the Chechen Republic."In an interview with Radio Liberty the following day, Orlov said: "I have no doubt that behind the murder of Estemirova stand people subordinate to Ramzan Kadyrov, who indulge in murders, violence, and unlawfulness on Russian territory, and also outside Russia," he said.
Kadyrov"s press service said the Chechen leader had called Orlov, and said: "You are not a prosecutor or a judge, and so your statements about my guilt are, to put it mildly, unethical and insulting to me."
Orlov replied that he had not accused Kadyrov personally of killing Estemirova, but had meant that, as president, he was responsible for crime in the republic, which saw two brutal separatist wars in the 1990s and early 2000s, Chechnya"s Segodnya news agency later reported.
