innocence The alibi of S.V. Arakcheev is proved by following documents and witnesses: Abstracts of the orders of the commander of the second Special Designation Regiment E.A.Egorov to the temporary stationing of the city of Grozny, which specified that Arakchhev was assigned as a commander to do a reconnaissance (mine clearance) task on APC A-208 with a covering group on APC A-211 under the command of the captain P.G.Berelidze. According to the abstract from the military unit's operations record book, these commander’s orders were executed. Inspection record of the car leaving register from 18.01.2003, "15.01.2003 Armoured Personnel Carriers (APC) A-208 and A-211 drove out three times in the periods from 7:20 to 9:30, from 10:20 to 12:20 and from 14:20 to 15:25. The persons in charge were Arakcheev and Berelidze". It appears from the car leaving register records that at the time of the events, described in the indictment, Arakcheev was not with Khudyakov in APC A-226, but at a completely different place as the commander of APC A-208. There is also no order of transfer of Arakcheev to the crew of Khudyakov S.V. The alibi of S.V. Arakcheev was confirmed by 25 witnesses: M.V. Nuzhdin, A.V. Zadera, A.A. Marchev, S.A.

Novik, Lieutenant Colonel A.V. Sizov. In addition, used cartridges of 7.62mm, 9mm and 5.45mm rounds were found at the scene of the incident.
