...reselling of vegetables and fruits. In 1988 he got married, has two children, recently he did not maintain relations with his wife. He has no prior convictions, is not registered with a psychiatrist or narcologist (certificates are in the criminal case). As follows from the materials of the criminal case, Adam Osmanovich Dekkushev has been charged with the commission, as part of an organized group, of the bombings of two residential buildings in Moscow, which caused significant property damage and resulted in the deaths of a large number of people, as well as the commission, as part of an organized group, of the illegal acquisition, storage, and transportation of explosives and explosive devices, i.e., the commission of crimes provided for by Part 3 of Art. 205 and Part 3 of Art. 222 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. In the charges brought against him, A.O. Dekkushev pleaded fully guilty and testified that in the summer of 1999, while on the territory of Chechnya, he received instructions from the leaders of illegal armed formations (IAF) Khattab and Abu Umar to purchase aluminum powder in Volgograd, which he did, delivering it to the settlement of Mirny near Kislovodsk. To the same location, he delivered sugar bags he had purchased in the settlement of Erken-Shakhar. Later, using a concrete mixer, the aluminum powder and ammonium nitrate were mixed, resulting in the production of an explosive substance (ES). Part of the ES, packed in the purchased sugar bags, was delivered to Moscow, where it was used to blow up residential buildings in September 1999. The remaining ES (about 5 tons) was delivered by A.O. Dekkushev, along with T. Batchayev and Yu. Krymshamkhalov, on the instructions of Abu Umar, in a KAMAZ truck to Volgodonsk, where an explosion was carried out near a residential building, leading to its destruction and human casualties. From the testimony of A.O. Dekkushev, it appears that at the age of 16 he suffered a concussion and spent several days in intensive care. He also took an active part in combat operations in the ranks of the IAF on the territory of the Chechen Republic, although, according to his claim, he received no wounds or concussions. During interrogations, A.O. Dekkushev behaves adequately, his speech is coherent and clear.
