Russian investigators say they have concluded a probe into the 2006 killing of journalist Anna Politkovskaya.
The Investigative Committee, which probes such crimes, said Wednesday it formally charged three Chechen men with involvement in the murder and made related abuse of office charges against an officer of the Federal Security Service, or FSB.
Officials said earlier that FSB Lt. Col. Pavel Ryaguzov was suspected of giving Politkovskaya's killers her address. Ryaguzov and other suspects have been in custody since their arrest in August.
The committee doesn't say what was the motive. It says it has dropped charges against several other suspects in the case.
