According to the diplomat, Berlin’s justice department received a request from Russia’s Prosecutor-General’s Office, which was sent on August 27, only on Friday, TASS reported.

"Where is this urgency on which you are insisting? It is the German side that lacks it very much," she stressed.

"By not sending the response Berlin is stonewalling the investigation process, which it has been demanding. Is this done on purpose?" Zakharova said.
