49. On 5 August 2004 the prosecutor's office of the Chechen Republic quashed the decision of 23 April 2004 and ordered the district prosecutor's office to institute an investigation into Marvan Idalov's abduction under Article 126 § 2 of the Russian Criminal Code (aggravated kidnapping).
50. On 20 December 2004 the second applicant was granted victim status and questioned. He submitted that Marvan Idalov had been kidnapped on 22 November 2002 by unknown persons in masks.
51. On 26 January 2005 the first applicant was granted victim status and questioned. She made a statement similar to that by her husband.
52. The investigators requested information from law-enforcement agencies of the Chechen Republic and were told in reply that Marvan Idalov had not been arrested, prosecuted or held in any detention facilities and that no special operations had been carried out in Akhkinchu-Borzoy on 22 November 2002.
53. The Idalovs' relatives and neighbours were questioned in the course of the investigation and submitted that they had no information concerning the circumstances of Marvan Idalov's kidnapping.
54. On 15 February 2005 the district prosecutor's office suspended the investigation in case No. 44034 concerning the kidnapping of Marvan Idalov on 22 November 2002 on account of the failure to identify those responsible and notified the applicants accordingly.
