"The investigation conducted a thorough inspection at the scene, during which the weapon of the crime was discovered — a Makarov pistol with a silencer installed and three cartridges," the agency said in a statement on its website.

Investigators have ordered more than 15 forensic examinations, including genetic, fingerprint, tracological, molecular genetic, physico-chemical and others.

Viktor Vasin, an accomplice in the commission of the crime, was detained as soon as possible in the Moscow region. It has also been confirmed that Zinaida Serebritskaya, who traveled to Ukraine, was involved in the crime.

On February 6, an unknown man fired several shots at Alekseev, after which he fled the scene. The victim was taken to one of the city hospitals. On February 7, Alekseev regained consciousness after the assassination attempt.

A criminal case has been opened into the incident, and the Moscow Prosecutor's Office has taken control of the investigation.
