Questions and Answers

To the defendant: How does your previous sentence align with your previous testimony?

Answer: That sentence is invalid.

Question from lawyer Chernousov to the defendant: You said that they changed the measure of restraint to bail and referred to a letter from Putin and that's it, what was the reason?

Answer: They wanted to directly link me to the explosions in Moscow, to make me an accomplice. And when that failed, they released me, to look at my connections, circle, and what I do, and then locked me up again. There were moments of my persecution and I almost got hit by a truck, they follow me, tap my phones. This was after I was released. This persecution and photographing is still happening.

Question from lawyer Chernousov to the defendant: When in September 1999 did FSB officers meet with you, where did it happen?

Answer: When I am arrested and led, I cannot name the exact location.

Question from lawyer Chernousov to the defendant: Could FSB officers have taken handwriting samples from you before the initiation of the criminal case?

Answer: Yes.

Question from the court to the defendant: Do you remember when they took handwriting samples from you?

Answer: Immediately after the last explosion in Moscow on September 12 or 13. The samples were all in September, the 13th, 15th, and 18th. The criminal case was initiated on July 18, ? year. I believe that I gave the samples for comparative study before the initiation of the criminal case. It is clear from the case file that the expert examination was conducted after the initiation of the criminal case, but I think it could have been conducted before.
