Суд мести

The reader should know that if this package is subjected to any further investigative measure, then it must, as a matter of procedure, be placed into a new package carrying explanatory notes identifying the seals and inscriptions on the contents. Touching or moving the package itself or its contents is absolutely prohibited!

In early March 2003 the Gorins' disappearance, a routine matter in the Russian provinces, was for reasons unclear at the time handed to the Procuracy General. To me, this is a key date - it means that the decision to bring down Yukos with criminal cases had been taken a week or two earlier. That is, immediately after Khodorkovskiy's argument with Putin at that memorable meeting.

The FSB's experts now joined the case. And on 20 April 2003 one of those experts, with the appropriate surname Zakonova , carried out a new examination. Semibratova's findings had to be overturned, and DNA checks were ordered. Zakonova then received from the investigations department of the Tambov procuracy a white paper package, with a dark blue seal that read "For No.2 packets Tambov procuracy"!

It had been sealed shut not with the signature of Semibratova, but with those of an investigator and two witnesses, and without a date! It could only have been a substitution. What happened to the real items of evidence gathered from the scene of the crime? The defence asked that of Judge Natalya Olikhver, but she turned a deaf ear.

When Zakonova opened the substitute package, she found a stone and some microscopic fragments of a reddish-brown hue. These were to be screened for matches to DNA from Gorin's family. But what were these mysterious fragments? The logical thing to do would be to examine their cell structure and establish which part of the body they were from. But this was not done.

Zakonova found that the fragments were of Gorin and without batting an eyelid wrote in her report: "Brain tissue belonging to Gorin". But how did she know it was brain tissue? It could have been a substance specially prepared with traces of his fingernails and hair that the FSB and prosecutors had taken from clothes in the sackloads of evidence they removed from the house. Who told Zakonova to say it was brain?

The in-house examination was more productive than the truth drug used on Pichugin. Now the investigation had Gorin's death: without his brains he could not possibly be alive. But what about Semibratova's conclusion that it was blood group AB? Easy. She was using old equipment. She's out in the sticks, what can you do?

The most important work was done. All that remained now was to remove the discrepancy in blood groups between Gorin and the samples from the scene. The FSB's people remembered what Semibratova had written: "The substance could have been contaminated by its carrier". They placed part of the fragments into their ultramodern centrifuges and got the result they wanted. And quite right too. For important cases like these, you need the very best equipment. Semibratova, incidentally, had used exactly the same method to try and separate the substance from the gravel but still got group AB. All the worse for her.
