Edited. 28 years behind bars: the prosecution requested punishment for Daria Trepova [Regnum] Daria Trepova (a person included by Rosfinmonitoring in the list of terrorists and extremists), accused of committing a terrorist attack in which military correspondent Vladlen Tatarsky (Maxim Fomin) died, the prosecutor requested 28 years in prison. This was reported by a correspondent for IA Regnum. The state prosecution requested 28 years in prison for Daria Trepova “To finally determine Trepova’s punishment in the form of imprisonment for 28 years,” said the representative of the prosecution during the debate on the criminal case, which takes place on January 19 in the 1st Western District Military Court. In addition to the term, Trepova was asked to impose a fine of 800 thousand rubles. At the same time, Trepova asked the court to return the case for further investigation and reclassify it under other articles. TERRORIST ATTACK IN ST. PETERSBURG On April 2, 2023, in a cafe on Universitetskaya embankment in St. Petersburg, Tatarsky’s creative meeting “There is such a profession as a military correspondent” took place, which ended in an explosion that took his life. Trepova was one of the guests of the event. At the meeting, Daria introduced herself as a student at the Academy of Arts, asking permission to donate the figurine. She presented the military correspondent with a figurine with his image as a gift; he thanked her for the gift, which, as it later turned out, contained explosives. After presenting the gift, the girl left the establishment, and soon an explosion occurred in the bar. As a result of the terrorist attack, Tatarsky was killed and more than 40 people were injured. Later, at the hearing in the murder case, data were announced that Tatarsky died suddenly from an explosive injury a fraction of a second after the explosion. He had no chance to survive. After the terrorist attack, Trepova hid in the apartment of her friend Dmitry Kasintsev. However, the morning after the terrorist attack, April 3, Kasintsev tried to escape. Kasintsev, taking his things, phone, Russian and foreign passports, wanted to go outside, but on the first floor of the entrance he was stopped by a police officer. At the request of the law enforcement officer, Kasintsev led him to his apartment and opened the door. Trepova herself was found in the closet. For Kasintsev himself, the state prosecution requested 1 year and 10 months of imprisonment in a general regime correctional colony. After the terrorist attack, the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation opened a criminal case of murder, which was later reclassified as a case of terrorism, and Trepova was arrested. The Second Western District Military Court extended Trepova's arrest until April 18, 2024. After the terrorist attack, Russian President Vladimir Putin posthumously awarded Tatarsky the Order of Courage. UKRAINIAN JOURNALIST AND GESTALT At the end of March 2023, Trepova arrived in St. Petersburg and rented housing not far from the cafe, where the terrorist attack was subsequently carried out. Daria told a friend who managed to visit her that she was going to emigrate through Turkey to Ukraine. Investigators have established the involvement of journalist Roman Popkov (a person included by Rosfinmonitoring in the list of terrorists and extremists), who lived in Ukraine, in the terrorist attack. He corresponded with Trepova and gave her instructions. Another person involved, citizen of Ukraine Yuri Denisov, according to investigators, arrived in Russia in February 2023 and gave the same figurine to the performer. According to Trepova, after the start of the SVO, she wrote to Popkov asking for help to move to Ukraine as a “volunteer.” Six months later, he wrote that he was ready to help with the move. After that, he began to give small assignments. So, he asked to buy unregistered SIM cards, transferred money for it, and later introduced her to a friend under the nickname Gestalt, whose real name she does not know. Trepova herself was aware of what she was doing; forensic experts declared her sane. Thus, polygraph data on November 14 last year confirmed that Trepova knew what exactly was in the figurine that she gave to the journalist. The test results also showed direct intent and further proved the defendant's involvement in the explosion. On January 16, Trepova, during interrogation at the First Western District Military Court in St. Petersburg, said that she carried out orders from Ukrainian curators in the hope of leaving for Ukraine. In addition to Popkov, the curator of the Russian woman is his friend nicknamed Gestalt. Later it became known that Ukrainian curators were monitoring her using a regular car GPS tracker placed in the figurine. Also, an FSB officer who participated in her search after the terrorist attack said that one group of operatives, after identifying the suspect, checked the plane to Bukhara in Pulkovo, for which she bought a ticket, and the other went to check information from CCTV cameras, according to which it was established that the girl had entered one from the houses on Fyodor Abramov Street and got out there on the 21st floor. CIVIL CLAIMS AGAINST TREPOVA The amount of compensation claims against Trepova reached more than 40 million rubles. In court, she agreed to pay all compensation. The amount was made up of claims filed against her from victims of the explosion she caused and relatives of the murdered man. The largest claim came from Tatarsky’s mother - 15 million rubles. Taking into account the fact that not all victims filed claims, the amount may increase. The wife of the deceased military commander refused to sue. INVOLVEMENT OF THE KYIV REGIME Immediately after the terrorist attack, the National Anti-Terrorism Committee (NAC) called Tatarsky’s murder a terrorist attack organized by the Ukrainian intelligence services. The NAC stated that the terrorist attack that resulted in Tatarsky’s death “was planned by the Ukrainian special services with the involvement of agents from among individuals collaborating with the so-called Anti-Corruption Foundation,” of which the detained Trepova is an active supporter. The Anti-Terrorism Committee also stated that an investigation into all the circumstances of the crime is underway. The Federation Council and the Union of Journalists of Russia, in turn, stated that the enemies organized this murder because of the work of a military correspondent who covered the actions of the Russian military as part of a special operation. At the same time, American political scientist Scott Bennett said that the murder of Tatarsky could have been carried out by Ukrainian radicals with the support of Western countries. As Bennett suggested, the explosion in a cafe in St. Petersburg could have been carried out using foreign technologies - satellites, which, in his opinion, were provided by the United States and Britain. “I think this is a joint operation between the US, UK and Ukraine. The Israeli intelligence agency Mossad is also likely involved,” he said. In turn, ex-Verkhovna Rada deputy Andrei Derkach, in an interview with American journalist Simone Papadopoulos, said that the heads of the Ukrainian special services do not hide the fact that they carry out political assassinations and terrorist acts for extra-budgetary money. In his opinion, it was Kiev that carried out the murders of Tatarsky and journalist Daria Dugina, as well as the attempt on the life of writer Zakhar Prilepin. More from regnum.ru Trepova asked the court to return the case of the terrorist attack in St. Petersburg for further investigation Daria Trepova (a person included in the list of terrorists and extremists) asked to return the case of the terrorist attack in the St. Petersburg cafe, where military correspondent Vladlen Tatarsky died, for further investigation and to reclassify it under other articles. A Regnum correspondent reports this. “I would like to ask the court to return the case for further investigation and classify it differently, under Art. 327 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, assign punishment at the discretion of the court,” she said during the debate between the parties, pointing out that there was no intent in her actions. As reported by IA Regnum, the prosecutor requested 28 years in prison for Trepova. Additionally, she asked Trepova to be fined 800 thousand rubles. The accused perpetrator of the terrorist attack agreed to pay compensation to those injured during the explosion. According to the publication, the amount of compensation requested by the victims is more than 40 million rubles. Trepova partially admitted guilt. The terrorist attack, during which military correspondent Vladlen Tatarsky was killed and 42 people were injured, occurred in St. Petersburg on April 2, 2023.
