Further Investigation Plan

In the course of further investigation, it is necessary to perform the following:

• Locate the accused who, according to available data, are hiding in the territory of the Chechen Republic or neighboring republics of the North Caucasus region. Conduct the necessary complex of investigative actions with their participation (interrogations, identifications, familiarization with resolutions on the appointment of expert examinations, expert opinions, and others);
• Confirm or refute the version of the possible death of Yu.I. Krymshamkhalov;
• Verify the circumstances of the possible presence of T.A. Batchaev in the city of Nevinnomyssk in October 2000;
• Recognize as victims and interrogate about 1,000 more people;
• Continue investigative and operational-search measures on the territory of the Rostov Region, Stavropol Krai, and the Karachay-Cherkess Republic;
• Conduct other necessary investigative actions and search measures to clarify all the circumstances of the preparation and commission of the crime and to identify possible accomplices.

Taking into account that a significant volume of investigative actions and operational-search measures remains to be performed in the case, and it is not possible to complete the preliminary investigation by the deadline established by law, i.e., by December 16, 2000, guided by the requirements of Articles 92, 97, and 133 of the Code of Criminal Procedure,

HAS DECIDED:

To initiate a petition before the Deputy Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation to extend the term of the preliminary investigation in criminal case No. 173 to twenty-one months, i.e., until June 16, 2001.
