| 2002-11-13 |
| Five policemen of the Zavodskoy district interior department have been arrested in Groznyy, Chechen Prosecutor Nikolay Kostyuchenko told the press on Wednesday. The arrested men are accused of banditry and murders, among them the murders of their fellow policemen. Recently they killed an investigator of the Interior Directorate of Chechnya who had begun to investigate successfully a murder committed by these criminals. Nikolay Kostyuchenko also said that the people involved in blowing up a building of the Zavodskoy district interior department a month ago, which resulted in the deaths of 24 people, have not been detained yet. Several policemen who were suspected of committing the terror act stopped reporting for work at the time and are in hiding. The search for them is in progress. Sounds like the plot of a damned made-for-teevee movie, doesn't it? |
