Russia’s Federal State Security Service (FSB) arrested retired intelligence Colonel Vladimir Kvachkov on suspicion of organizing an armed revolt. Kvachkov was arrested one day after the Supreme Court ultimately affirmed an acquittal verdict in a case where Kvachkov had been charged with an attempt to assassinate former high-ranking federal official Anatoly Chubays. (Kvachkov obtained acquittal verdicts in two consecutive jury trials). Legislation has since changed, and the new case against Kvachkov will be heard by a judge rather than a jury.
