ROSTOV-ON-DON, June 27 (AVN) - The Chechnnya-based 201st military prosecutor's office has made 65 petitions requiring elimination of law violations to the unified federal groups in the North Caucasus in the second quarters of 2001, a spokesman for the North Caucasus military district prosecutor's office told the Military News Agency on Wednesday.
The rights of over 300 servicemen were restored and the damage to the country estimated at RUR425,000 (USD8,407) was compensated. Up to 30 percent of criminal cases, which are currently under investigation, are related to blasts and attacks against military columns, and the same number deals with careless handling of arms, violation of their storage rules and their losses. This is one of the most serious legal problems for the federal servicemen.
According to the spokesman, the 201st prosecutor's office will co-ordinate actions of the four military prosecutor bodies in the breakaway republic following the order from Major General Oleg Ustinov, military prosecutor of the North Caucasus federal district. Prosecutor's offices are located in the Shali, Borzoi and Kalinovskaya localities and the prosecutor-investigation station attached to the military prosecutor's office of the Federal Border Guard Service (FBGS) in Itum-Kale. The offices are supervised by Colonel Dmitri Bibikov, chief of the 201st prosecutor's office.
