This April 2003 resolution by the Russian General Prosecutor's Office details formal charges against Adam Osmanovich Dekkushev for his role in the 1999 apartment bombings. It alleges that Dekkushev joined a Chechen-based illegal armed formation in 1997 led by foreign emirs, including Al-Khattab and Abu Umar. The document outlines a logistics chain where 14 tons of explosives (a mixture of TNT, aluminum powder, ammonium nitrate, and sugar) were manufactured in the Stavropol Krai and transported to Moscow and Volgodonsk disguised as sugar and potatoes. Significant details include the use of shell companies like 'LLC BRAND-2' and forged identities (M.N. Laipanov) by A.Sh. Gochiyaev to rent warehouse space at Guryanova St. and Kashirskoye Highway. The prosecution asserts the bombings were intended to intimidate the population and force the Russian government to abandon military actions in Dagestan.
