To Investigator O.F. SilchenkoInvestigator of Especially Important CasesInvestigative Committee of the Russian Interior MinistryFrom S.L. MagnitskiyPetitionOn 9 November 2009, Investigator I.A. Varganov provided for my review Folder No. 2 of criminal case No. 311578 which was significantly different from Folder No. 2 and other foldersof the same criminal case that were shown to me by Investigator R.A. Gritsai on 20 October2009.In particular, all folders shown to me on 20 October 2009, including Folder No. 2, did not havecovers and none of the copies of documents contained in the folders were certified with acorresponding mark and a signature of a certifying person directly on the copy. Instead, eachfolder contained at the back, a page with a statement signed by you indicating the number of collated and numbered documents in the folder and the authenticity of the copies of documents.The ends of the string used to collate each folder were glued to that page with a white sheet of paper that had a seal imprint No7 of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Interior Ministry.Folder No. 2 shown to me on 9 November 2009 was placed in a binder made from thick cartonwith dividers that were left empty and were not filled out. The collated folder shown to me on 20October 2009 could not have been collated into the present binder without first undoing it. TheFolder No. 2 shown to me on 9 November 2009 was not collated with string, but with a threadinstead. The last page with statements signed by you about the authenticity of copies and thenumber of pages was absent. Every page of Folder No. 2 shown to me on 9 November 2009contained items that had been absent in Folder No. 2 shown to me on [20 October 2009],including: a) seal No. 7 of the Investigative Committee of the Interior Ministry; b) a stamp of theRussian Interior Ministry’s Investigative Committee saying “the copy is true”; c) someone’sname, visibly not your signature and no indication of the full name and title of the person whosigned it.Therefore, the materials of criminal case 311578 which are now being shown for me to review,are not the same materials that were produced to me on 20 October 2009 because they noticeablydiffer in the manner of certifying the authenticity of included copies and in the manner of binding, and because in both cases materials were collated in a manner that did not exclude thepossibility to undo the binding, and add, delete or replace documents, and I do not exclude thepossibility that these materials are also different in their contents.Based on the above, because the materials of criminal case No. 311578 that I am currentlyreviewing are different from the ones shown to me on 20 October 2009, I make a statement thaton 20 October 2009 I was not given the materials of the criminal case, but instead as it appearsnow, some other materials. Therefore, I request the submiission to me, pursuant to p.1 of Article217, the materials of criminal case No. 311578 and the full name and title of the person whocertified the copies in this case, because without this information copies are clearly not properlycertified. Additionally, it is now clear to me that originals of certain documents in the materials of the criminal case shown to me as copies cannot be at the disposal of the investigation, thereforethe certified copies of these documents, in my opinion, could be treated as falsified proofs,because they have been certified without comparing the copies admitted into the criminal casewith the original of the corresponding document or other properly verified copy of the document,and I intend to insist on bringing to justice the persons who certified these copies or placed themin the case materials.11 November 2009 S.L.
