https://ww2.odu.edu/ao/instadv/quest/MetroMurder.pdf The paradox of Toureaux’s murder is that by mid January of 1938 the Paris police and even the journalists, who were just as determined to solve the mystery of her death, had little doubt about who had killed her. The murder was connected to the assassinations of three prominent figures: the Russian economist Dimitri Navachine, stabbed to death in the Boisde-Boulogne on Jan. 26, 1937; and the Italian antifascist exiles Carlo and Nello Rosselli, gunned down on a road in Normandy on June 9, 1937. Police eventually traced all three assassination cases to an extreme right-wing organization called the Comité Secret d’Action Révolutionnaire (CSAR) and popularly dubbed the “Cagoule,” or “hooded ones,” because of their penchant for donning hoods when they needed to hide their identities. The Cagoule favored violence and planned a paramilitary coup to oust the socialist “Popular Front” government of the late 1930s before installing a military-style dictatorship in preparation for the return of the French monarchy https://ww2.odu.edu/ao/instadv/quest/MetroMurder.pdf Murder in the Metro MYSTERIOUS DEATH LEADS TO SCHOLARLY WORK ON GENDER AND FASCISM IN 1937 FRANCE ANNETTE FINLEY-CROSWHITE AND GAYLE K.

La Cagoule directed its members in various actions aimed at creating suspicions of Communists to destabilize and destroy the French Republic. On January 26, 1937 Jean Filliol stabbed to death Dimitri Navachine, a Russian national and for several years the respected director of the Paris branch of the Soviet State Bank, in the Bois de Boulogne.[1] Initial suspicions were that he had been killed by Joseph Stalin's Secret Service, the N.K.V.D., as the Great Purge was underway in the Soviet Union.[4] To ease their obtaining arms from fascist Italy, on June 9, 1937, the group assassinated two Italian antifascists, the Rosselli brothers, who were refugees in France.[5][6] They sabotaged airplanes clandestinely supplied by the French government to the Spanish Republic. On September 11, 1937, the Cagoule blew up two buildings owned by the Comité des Forges (Ironmasters Association), to create the impression of a communist conspiracy. Although it was widely believed at the time that communists had set the bombs, the government took no official action against the French Communist Party, to the disappointment of Cagoulards. The Cagoule tried to infiltrate the International Brigades for the same purpose.

http://www.historytoday.com/letters-march-2010 Murder Convictions History Today I have read ‘Murder on the Métro’ (January 2010) with interest and believe it to be a valuable addition to our knowledge of the Cagoulard underground who often acted on the orders ofMussolini’s Organizzazione per la Vigilanza e la Repressione dell’Antifascismo (OVRA) as in the case of the Rosselli brothers. However, I cannot share the authors’ conviction that the murder of the Russian banker Dmitry Navashin (whom they call ‘economist Dimitri Navachine’) was the work of the Cagoule.As a matter of fact, the movement had no reason to kill him. But Stalin’s NKVD (the predecessor of the KGB) certainly had. To this day the case remains in the archives of the French Sûreté marked unsolved. Despite the intensive investigation, the killer was not found and the reasons that led to the crime could not be determined and so the French criminal investigation service, the Sûreté Générale, decided to close it. Only in 2004,KGB-related historians published the name of the assassin: Panteleimon Takhchiyanov, officer of the NKVD special reserve. Different sources give different reasons for this murder but, suffice to say, for many years Navashin had served as the vice-director and then director of the Banque Commerciale pour l’Europe du Nord (BCEN), a Soviet banking institution operating in Paris under French law. Back in March 1930 Grigory Besedovsky, a Soviet defector, named Navashin as a secret agent of the OGPU who regularly wrote reports to the NKVD station in Paris.

I've researched this guy. Have put together lots of sources and collected the clips. Will add substantially to the article, which is (IMO) misleading as it presently stands. The murder is still listed as unsolved by the French police. It is tied to at least three other murders (Carlo and Nello Rosselli Italian antiFascist dissidents, Carlo and Nello Rosselli; Laetitia Nourrissat Toureaux, stabbed to death in plain sight while riding the Paris Metro on 16 May, 1937 in “the perfect crime”).; the NKVD is another Panteleimon Takhchiyanov, officer of the NKVD special reserve was named as the assassin in the research/release in 2004 of KGB documents).<ref name="History">"Murder Convictions".
