MOSCOW, September 6 (RAPSI) - The Moscow City Court will resume the hearing of the case of Ilya Pyanzin, who is suspected of having plotted to assassinate President Vladimir Putin, on September 10, RAPSI learned from the court's press service.

Pyanzin has concluded a pretrial agreement with investigators. The trial thus will be held without the examination of evidence or the interrogation of witnesses. Under such a special procedure means that the defendant has pleaded guilty but the court must give him sentence which won't exceed two thirds of maximum term of imprisonment or amount of the highest penalty of the crime provided by the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

In February 2012, the Russian and Ukrainian security services reported that the suspects in the case, who were earlier placed on the international wanted list, had been arrested in the city of Odessa. Investigators allege that Chechen-born Adam Osmayev and Ruslan Madayev, as well as Kazakh-born Pyanzin, organized a safe house in an apartment in Odessa.

The group was exposed and neutralized in January and February 2012 after a bomb made from saltpeter, aluminum powder and other substances accidentally detonated in the apartment, killing Madayev.

Pyanzin, who was detained first, told Ukrainian security officers that his accomplices were preparing a bomb to assassinate then-Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov. They allegedly planned to detonate it close to Putin's motorcade as he drove through Moscow.

Pyanzin was handed to Russia in 2012. Osmayev's extradition has been suspended until the ECHR passes a judgment on the lawfulness of his extradition.

He stands charged with participation in a criminal gang, conspiracy to assassinate a political figure, illegal storage and transfer of explosives.
