Criminal Case Details

On September 19, 1999, resolutions were issued to charge Yu.I. Krymshamkhalov, A.O. Dekkushev, and T.A. Batchaev as defendants in a criminal case. The charges were based on the grounds that they, acting as part of an organized group for the purpose of violating public safety and intimidating the population, carried out an explosion that resulted in grave consequences, i.e., committed a crime under Part 3 of Article 205 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation — "terrorism." The chosen preventive measure for the defendants — detention — remains unchanged.

On September 19, 1999, due to the unknown whereabouts of the defendants Yu.I. Krymshamkhalov, A.O. Dekkushev, and T.A. Batchaev, a search for them was declared. The execution of this search was assigned to the ZKSiBT [Protection of the Constitutional Order and Fight against Terrorism] department of the FSB Directorate of the RF for the Rostov Region.
