This Kommersant article details the completion of the Russian Prosecutor General's investigation into the 1999 apartment bombings in Moscow and Volgodonsk, identifying Yusuf Krymshamkhalov and Adam Dekkushev as the final primary defendants to stand trial. The official narrative claims the attacks were orchestrated by Achimez Gochiyayev’s group under the direction of field commanders Khattab and Abu al-Walid, who allegedly funded the operation with $700,000. The explosives, a mixture of hexogen, TNT, and other materials, were prepared in Chechen fertilizer plants and transported to Moscow and Volgodonsk disguised as sugar. A significant portion of the document focuses on the trial of traffic police officer Stanislav Lyubichev, who is accused of taking a bribe (a bag of sugar) to allow the explosives-laden truck to pass through a checkpoint in Kislovodsk. The document also mentions the deaths of several accomplices and the capture of Krymshamkhalov and Dekkushev in Georgia's Pankisi Gorge.
