Full text
This document is a criminal verdict issued by the Ostankino Intermunicipal Court of Moscow in early 2000 regarding an extortion case. The defendants are Vladimir Vladimirovich Marchenko, Natalya Viktorovna Zander, and Aleksandr Sergeevich Zander. The court established that the Zanders and Marchenko conspired to extort property from a victim named Rudenko, with Aleksandr Zander acting as an instigator while already in custody for a previous offense. Marchenko received a nine-year sentence, while Natalya Zander received a reduced six-month sentence due to her secondary role and lack of profit motive. Aleksandr Zander was sentenced to a total of seventeen years, combining this verdict with a previous May 1999 conviction. The document does not explicitly mention the 1999 apartment bombings, hexogen, or FSB involvement, though it details the destruction of audio and video investigative evidence.
