Former Russian colonel detained on suspicions of complicity in terrorism
|
(Itar-Tass) - Former Colonel of the Russian Military Intelligence Service /GRU/, Vladimir Kvachkov, who was recently exonerated of charges with attempting on the life of Anatoly Chubais, the ex-CEO of the UES of Russia power monopoly, is suspected of complicity in terrorism and plans to organize an armed revolt, sources at Moscow's Lefortovo district court told Itar-Tass Thursday.
"The court has received a petition from the Investigations Department of the Federal Security Service
... the successor to the KGB...
/FSB/ that contains a request to administer custody as a pretrial measure for citizen Kvachkov, born 1948," a source said.
He added that Kvachkov is suspected of criminal offenses falling under Clause I of Article 205 of the Russian Criminal Code /recruiting and involvement of individuals into terrorist activity/, as well as under Articles 20 and 279 /an attempt to organize an armed revolt/."
A spokeswoman for Moscow's Lefortovo district court said the case had the "classified" stamp on it and that is why the hearings on request would be held behind closed doors.
At the time of reporting Kvachkov and his lawyer were familiarizing themselves with materials in the case.
