MOSCOW, June 27 – RAPSI. Two extremist group members have been arrested on suspicion of involvement in Judge Eduard Chuvashov's assassination, the Federal Security Service (FSB) reports on Wednesday.

Chuvashov was shot dead in the entrance to his house in Moscow in 2010.

During his judicial career in the Moscow City Court, he reviewed more than 20 high-profile criminal cases. A number of them concerned murders on ethnic grounds.

According to the FSB, the two detainees are residents of the Moscow region born in 1985.

They are believed to have radical views and to have been members of underground armed groups since 2004.

The suspects attempted to put up an armed resistance during their arrest. A Suomi submachine gun, a Makarov pistol and a hand grenade were seized during the arrest.

In late March, investigators named the suspect who is believed to have killed the judge as Moscow resident Alexei Korshunov, 28. He has been charged with assassination of a judge motivated by revenge for considering extremism cases.

Korshunov has been placed on the wanted list.
