This 2003 legal document from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Karachay-Cherkess Republic details criminal charges against Andrei Adolfovich Shakhnazarov for fraud. Shakhnazarov, posing as a lawyer in 2001, allegedly defrauded the relatives of individuals detained on suspicion of terrorism, specifically R.Kh. Gochiyaev and R.Kh. Koichuev. The document notes that Shakhnazarov claimed he could bribe investigators from the Prosecutor General's Office in the North Caucasus to secure the release of these suspects, who share surnames with key figures linked to the 1999 apartment bombings. In total, he is accused of stealing 4,000 US dollars and over 110,000 rubles from F.Kh. Gochiyaeva, A.M. Koichueva, and N.Kh. Urusova. The resolution was formally announced to Shakhnazarov in November 2003.
