THE AUTORITES REQUIRE THAT HANSSEN REMAIN IN DETENTION UNTIL THE
LAWSUIT








WASHINGTON, March 5.  (Corr. Ria " Novosti " Kirill Glebov).
Representants of ministry public which leans on " business Hanssen "
have intention to obtain that Robert Hanssen, old agent of the FBI,
which has supposedly ete arrete under the inculpation of espionage to
the profit of the Sovietique Union, then of Russia, remains in
detention until the beginning of the lawsuit, malgre all the fragilite
of the charges which have ete avancees to him.

The charge estimates that the charges portees against Hanssen are "
too serieuses " and the danger of its " release " is too large.  Since
its arrest (on last 18 February), Hanssen is in detention, but the
place or it is is not quotes because of the espionnite repandue in the
United States.  The two parts with the lawsuit - the charge and
defense - agreed has to defer the initial audience and the limiting
time of the inculpation to May 21.  It is convenient for the two
parts.

The adjournment of the beginning of the lawsuit makes it possible the
autorites to delay a little the advertisement of the evidence of the
espionage of Hanssen, of which some representen a secrecy.  The
lawyers will have more time to speak has their customer and to study
the parts of the file.  That can give has defense the additional
possibilities to obtain the " mea culpa concertee ":  accuses
acknowledges its fault and coopere with the investigation in exchange
of the attenuation of the verdict.  But this attenuation can averer
the reclusion has life, as it was the case of Hearts.

The lawyer of Hanssen A declares the week derniere that the question
of a transaction with the representants of the ministry for the
Justice of the United States did not arise.  But, according to
experts', it will be inevitable has a certain moment, because the
autorites must obtain from Hanssen all information concerning the
damage causes by him.
