This was announced by the head of the press service of the TFR Vladimir Markin.

Depending on the role of incriminated defendants, they were charged with units of the 1st and 2nd of Article 209 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (leadership of a gang or participation in it; up to 15 years of colony), as well as on paragraphs “B”, “Z”, “H” of Article 102 of the Criminal Code of the RSFSR (intentional killing of two or more persons in connection with the fulfillment of official debt, committed according to the preliminary slander of the groups; Before the death penalty) and part 2 of article 15 - points "B", "Z", "H" Article 102 of the Criminal Code of the RSFSR (attempted crime).

According to the Investigative Committee, among the goals of UNA -UNSO - "providing counteraction to the Russian authorities in any form and the destruction of citizens of the Russian Federation of Russian nationality." Among the citizens of Ukraine who shared such goals and therefore joined this party, the department calls Karpyuk, Klykh, as well as the deceased Alexander Muzychko (Sashka Bilogue) and a certain Alexander Malofeev.

Meanwhile, Markin continues, since 1991, the “gangs” began to be created in Chechnya, which had achieved “the formation of an independent Islamic state” (the spelling of the original. - Ed.) Power the “formation on its territory.). After the start of the first Chechen war in 1994, Karpyuk, Muzychko and other persons began, according to the TFR, to recruit radicals in Ukraine for sending to Chechnya to war with Russia.

Then, the Investigative Department says, Karpyuk, together with his comrades in UNA-UNSO,, in particular Dmitry Korchinsky , arrived in Chechnya, so that "as part of an armed group from among the members of the UNA-UNSO and together with members of the Bands acting on the territory of the republic, headed by Aslan Maskhadov, Shamil Basaev and other persons, to make attacks and murders of citizens, to commit citizens. military personnel of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, as well as law enforcement officers. "

At the same time, Markin states that, “following the orders of the gang leaders, Karpyuk, together with Muzychko, led a gang called Viking. The official, however, does not specify which“ gang ”leaders ordered Karpyuk and Muzychko to lead another“ gang ”. Among the members of Viking and the Malofeevs, the investigation calls Dmitry Yarosh and a certain Yuri Dolzenok.

According to the Investigative Committee, in December 1994 - January 1995, Karpyuk, Klyu and Malofeev, together with other participants in the Band, fought with the Russian military in Grozny in the territory of the presidential palace, as well as on the square for a minute and the railway station. During these battles, writes the head of the press service of the Investigative Committee, they "deprived the lives of at least 30 military personnel and at least 13 military personnel were injured in varying severity."

Whether Carpyuk and Klyny recognized the accusations, Markin does not specify. Meanwhile, another person involved - Malofeev - pleaded guilty and made a deal with the prosecutor's office. Materials in his regard are allocated in separate production. They are also sent to the court, says TFR.

In addition, Markin assures, the investigation continues to other defendants. Whether they are free or in prison, the official does not specify.

According to Gordon, Karpyuk was stolen around March 21, 2014 in the Chernihiv region of Ukraine. Earlier in the same month, the Investigative Committeeannounced the initiation of the case against UNA-UNSO activists for their participation in the First Chechen War. Separately reported to initiate cases against Muzychko and Korchinsky.

It was originally reported that Karpyuk was taken to Essentuki. At the end of winter-early spring 2015, information was received that the abducted contains in SIZO-6 the central headquarters of the FSIN in Vladikavkaz , unofficially controlled by the FSB.

At the same time, Una-UNSO claims that Karpyuk in the early 1990s really fought in Abkhazia, but never visited Chechnya.

Klykh in early August 2014 went to his friend in an eagle. On August 11, he was supposed to go back, but that day his parents were informed that the journalist was imprisoned in the Oryol pre -trial detention center. At the end of August, Klyu called his parents and said that he was transported to another place, and supposedly to Chechnya. A few days later, the hostage called Essentukov, saying that he was still not charged, and investigators are trying to establish his ties with the "right sector". A day later, he sent an SMS, in which he said that he was in a pre -trial detention center in Pyatigorsk.

At the same time, Klyu never was in Una-UNSO and did not be in Chechnya. In his student years, he was in the folk rukh of Ukraine, and later he was not interested in politics. During the revolution, dignity was several times on the Maidan as an observer; He did not take active participation in protests.

In what institutions of Karpyuk and Klykh were kept in Essentuki is unknown: there is no pre -trial detention center in this city.

On August 4, the head of the Foreign Ministry of Ukraine Pavel Klimkin said that the Russian authorities still did not allow the Ukrainian consul to meet either Karpyuk or Klych.

As the lawyer Ilya Novikov told the Frances, who, at the request of his wife Karpyuk, has been unsuccessfully trying to meet with a pre -trial detention center since May 2014, I did everything possible in order to completely isolate the politics, not allowing him to contact either his family, and with Ukrainian diplomats, or with lawyers, with the exception of appointed. Until February 2015, the lawyer added, the Karpyuk family did not have any connection with the stolen. Then one or two letters came from him.

“The accusation itself in this case turns pale compared to how the investigation led itself,” Novikov remarked .

Klyu was more fortunate, the lawyer continued. The Novorossiysk lawyer Marina Dubrovina, who took his interests, "told a fantastic story how she got into a pre -trial detention center almost accidentally." “Only thanks to this,” Novikov concluded, “Klykh found out that someone was interested in his business and someone remembers him.”
