All of the men, including Dudayev, were held in custody for two days before being released on bail. Dudayev's documents are being held by the police.
Dzhokhar Dudayev became president of the newly declared Chechen Republic in October 1991 and declared independence from the Russian Federation the following month. He was killed in 1996 by a Russian-fired precision-guided bomb. His widow and remaining family live in Vilnius.
