BERLIN—German prosecutors now believe the murder of a Chechen rebel in Berlin this summer was likely linked to the Kremlin, according to an official familiar with the investigation, putting pressure on Berlin to punish Moscow. The German government has so far declined to speculate on the identity of the suspected killer, an unidentified Russian man who was arrested by German police just after the murder on Aug. 23.
