As it has been reported earlier, in March 2014 the Main Investigations Directorate of the Russia’s Investigative Committee launched an investigation against leader of Right Sector Dmitry Yarosh over signs of crimes under part 2 of article 205.2 of the RF Penal Code and part 2 of article 280 (public calls for terrorism and extremism using media).
We remind that according to investigators in his statements leader of the Ukraine’s ultra-nationalist organization Right Sector Dmitry Yarosh publicly calls for anti-Russian forces to extremism and terrorism in Russia. During the investigation a court ruled in absentia to place Yarosh in custody and he was internationally wanted. The time of investigation of the case has been extended until 3 July 2014.
In addition, the North-Caucasus Federal District Main Investigations Directorate of the Russia’s Investigative Committee started a criminal case against Ukrainian citizens, who were members of the UNA-UNSO: Igor Mazur, Valery Bobrovich, Dmitry Korchinsky, Andrey and Oleg Tyagnibok, Dmitry Yarosh, Vladimir Mamalyga and other persons not yet identified. Depending on the role of each one they are suspected of crimes under parts 1, 2 of article 209 of the RF Penal Code (creating a stable armed group (gang) to attack Russians, leadership of the gang and participation in attacks committed by it).
During an inquiry in a clash of the illegal armed units led by Shamil Basayev and Khattab with servicemen of 76th Pskov division of Airborne Troops in the Chechen Republic, investigators have received information on organization of a gang consisting of the members of the UNA-UNSO and their participation in actions against federal forces and on the side of Chechen separatists in 1994-1995. According to investigators, the leaders of the gang were Mazur, Bobrovich, Korchinsky and others, there were also brothers Tyagnibok, Yarosh, Mamalyga and other unidentified persons.
It has been decided to file the two cases in one legal suit under the proceeding of the North-Caucasus Federal District Main Investigations Directorate of the Russia’s Investigative Committee.
