Decision not to open criminal case based on Dubrovka special operation legal - Moscow City Court

MOSCOW. Dec 5 (Interfax) - The Moscow City Court on Wednesday reserved the decision made by the Lefortovsky Court, which earlier found the decision not to open a criminal case against the officials in charge of the special operation conducted in the Dubrovka theater in 2002 to be illegal, an Interfax correspondent has reported.

The judicial collegium reversed the Lefortovsky Court decision and ordered a new trial of the case, granting the prosecutors' request.

The case materials will be forwarded to the district court in the near future.
