Prosecutors search office of pro-Berezovsky website
A team of officers from the Moscow Prosecutor’s Office on Friday conducted a search in the office of the Grani.Ru Internet site – an Internet medium owned by emigre tycoon Boris Berezovsky.
The chief editor of the project has reported that the search had been ordered by investigator Asuyev of the Chechen Prosecutor’s Office. The search began at about 1100 in the morning before the editor appeared at his workplace. The prosecutors have seized the office computers.
The search is being conducted within the framework of the case instigated into the kidnapping of two officers of the Chechen Prosecutor’s Office. Nadezhda Pogosova and Aleksei Klimov were abducted in Chechnya on December 27, 2002. On August 18, Grani.Ru published Pogosova’s address to Boris Berezovsky in which the woman asked for help to rescue her from Chechen captivity. The prosecutors are searching for the original e-mail with the address intending to establish the sender.
