The Main Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation in Moscow has completed the final presentation of charges in the case of the murder of the controversial businessman Shabtai Kalmanovich. Articles 105 and 222 (murder and illegal possession of weapons) were incriminated against Ali Belkhoroev, Batyr Tumgoev, Bagaudin Kostoev, the Batalhadzhins.
