FORMER FSB OFFICERS ACCUSED OF NEW CRIMES

MOSCOW, December 3 (AVN) - Former Federal security service officers Alexander Litvinenko and Alexander Gusak are accused of new crimes, deputy Judge Advocate General Yury Yakovlev told the Military News Agency.

Litvinenko, serving Boris Berezovsky, became famous when last spring he accused FSB of attempts to kill his master; investigation proved that the statement was false. Soon the officers appeared under the trial accused of excess of jurisdiction with violence.

On November 28 Moscow garrison tribunal justified them, but FSB arrested its former officers just after the sentence was announced.

Now they are accused of racketeering and excess of jurisdiction.

Military Prosecutor's office has two more cases connected with Litvinenko and Gusak, Yakovlev stated.
