This document summarizes evidence provided by Alexander Litvinenko and Yuri Felshtinsky to the public commission investigating the 1999 apartment bombings during a teleconference on July 25, 2002. It details claims made by suspect Achemez Gochiyayev, who admits to renting the Moscow premises where bombs were placed but asserts he was manipulated 'blindly' by a business partner who was an FSB agent. Gochiyayev denies any association with Chechen commanders Khattab and Basayev, alleging that an FSB photo purportedly of him is a fabrication. He further claims he prevented further attacks in Kapotnya and Borisovskie Prudy by alerting authorities to the explosives. Litvinenko and Felshtinsky urged the commission to verify these claims by examining police and emergency service dispatch records from September 1999.
