The actions in question are not observed in relation to the criminal case.
Amnesty acts adopted since the dismissal from the FSB of the RF must be taken into account.
The individual possesses over 24 years of service and is a veteran of military service.
The individual has received government honors, including the "Medal for Bravery" for operational-combat activities during the first Chechen campaign (prior to N.P. Patrushev's arrival at the FSB of the RF).
These credentials alone were sufficient to meet the legal requirements and result in a resolution refusing to initiate a criminal case during the pre-investigation check for the specified elements of the crime.
Specific Charge: Part 4 of Art. 222 of the Criminal Code of the RF
Regarding the Gas Pistol
The individual did not acquire a gas pistol and never carried it.
During the search, the individual informed the officers of the GVP (Chief Military Prosecutor's Office) and the USB (Internal Security Department) of the FSB of the RF that the pistol was brought and left in the apartment by a resident of Moscow, Vladimir Leshok, several years ago.
The pistol was voluntarily surrendered.
The individual named a specific person, Vladimir Leshok (tel. 911-44-03), who found the pistol and gave it to the individual years ago to determine if it was a gas or starter pistol and why the cartridge was jammed.
Vladimir Leshok was interrogated and confirmed the individual's testimony.
No evidence exists to show that the individual ever carried the pistol on their person.
The transfer and storage of gas weapons do not constitute the elements of a crime.
This is clear to anyone knowledgeable, but the GVP officers, who were aware of the entire situation before the criminal case was initiated, ignored the CCP (Criminal Procedure Code) of the RF and initiated a criminal case under Part 4 of Art. 222 of the Criminal Code of the RF.
Conclusion on the Pistol Case
The gas pistol was voluntarily surrendered to the officers of the GVP and the USB of the FSB of the RF, which can be confirmed by attesting witnesses.
This is reflected in the search protocol dated January 22, 2002.
Therefore, initiating a criminal case under Part 4 of Art. 222 of the Criminal Code of the RF was unwarranted.
Even if the fact of illegal acquisition and carrying of the gas pistol were established, according to the note to Art. 222 of the Criminal Code of the RF and numerous rulings of the highest judicial instances, the criminal case in such an instance is subject to termination.
