Trial chronicle, 10/16/2000
The consideration of case materials has been finished. The interrogation of the witnesses (search witnesses Trimaylova and Burov, and also Moiseyev's wife has been begun). The defense brought forward a petition to call additional witnesses (former employees of RF Embassy in Seoul, who had been interrogated earlier by investigation) to the court. It was satisfied by the court while the public prosecutor declared his negative attitude to it.
The comment of the defense counsels Yu.Gervis and A.Yablokov
All the documents have been examined, a lot of violations of the Russia's legislature has been discovered. In this connection the defense declared petitions for inadmissibility of using the proofs obtained with violations of the law. The court defined that these petitions should be considered in the time of passing judgment. The additional witnesses had been interrogated during investigation. They were not included by investigators in the list of court witnesses as their testimonies completely denied the version of Moiseyev's recruitment during his mission to Seoul.
The answer from Duma is attached to the case materials. The defense considers that it confirms Moiseyev's alibi, that he has nothing to handing over a concrete information in concrete time and place.
Attached to the case videotapes of illegal actions towards Korean diplomat, from one hand, show the FSS's methods, from the other - they are practically the only South Korean diplomat's testimony where he spoke about his friendly relations with Moiseyev, that he didn't execute illegal actions in Moscow, received nothing from Moiseyev and didn't give him money. The Korean diplomat has been detained near his car in the street and forwarded to the FSS office. He has been put on handcuffs. The interrogating person knew that Cho Son U was a diplomat as he had immediately shown his diplomatic card. Moreover, this FSS employee had been acqainted with Cho Son U beforehand. Cho Son U has been pressed to tell about his illegal activity in Moscow. He was threatened, he was offered to turn out his pockets, to show everything he had about him. His demand to invite South Korean Embassy's representative and allow him to call to the wife were ignorted. This "conversation" lasted for an hour, then he has been searched by FSS employees (for more details see press-conference dated April 5, 2000).
It is necessary to add that even having been phisically and psycologically violated Cho Son U didn't slander Moiseyev. He had no classified or closed materials about him and Moiseyev's report he has shown himself.
According to 1961 Viennese convention on diplomatic relations the person of diplomatic agent is inviolable. He is not sibject to arrest or detention in any form. The state of stay is obliged to accept all appropriate measures to prevent any encroachments on his personal freedom and dignity.
Comment of Moiseyev's wife
During this judicial session it became clear that judge Kuznetsova deformed my testimony dated October 21, 1999, when I spoke that the door of the apartment to FSS group and tommy-gunners had been open by my husband and I had been taken out of the bed.
The judge in protocol even deformed the sense of my words. I've never spoken that withdrown money laid in the public eye, that it was withdrown in an envelope from my bedside table. It laid unpacked in a bedside table and so it was withdrown.
It's necessary to mention that FSS has brought search witnesses (it's difficult to suppose that persons living in different districts of Moscow at half past eleven in the night should go for a walk near our house in Strogino, but it's possible to guess why the neighbours hadn't been invited as search witnesses.
Later investigator Rastvorov answered me that they "call" search witnesses. I wonder, they are also "called" to get salary or come themselves. And whether they receive salary in the same cash department as Mr.Rastvorov.
