MOSCOW, March 20 (RIA Novosti) - A suspect in the attempt on the life of RAO UES head Anatoly Chubais has been arrested for ten days, a source in law enforcement bodies of the Moscow region told RIA Novosti.

"He has not been indicted yet," the source reported.

Another source close to investigation told RIA Novosti that the suspect denied his involvement in the assassination attempt. A team of investigators continues to collect material evidence, and works on several leads.
