[Regnum] The military court sentenced Rostislav Zhuravlev, a defendant in the case of the bombing of the car of former officer of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) Vasily Prozorov, to 16 years in prison. This was reported in court on August 18.
“To sentence Zhuravlev to 16 years of imprisonment,” the judge announced.
According to the court's decision, the convicted person will spend the first five years in prison, after which he will be sent to a maximum security penal colony.
In addition, Zhuravlev was fined 500 thousand rubles. The convicted man admitted his guilt and signed a pre-trial agreement, so his case was separated into a separate proceeding.
On April 12, 2024, Prozorov's parked SUV was blown up in Moscow. The explosive device detonated when he got into the car and started it. The man was hospitalized with a leg injury. The FSB later reported the arrest of the first suspect in the car bombing, who turned out to be Russian citizen Vladimir Golovchenko (an individual included in the list of terrorists and extremists in the Russian Federation). He admitted that he lived in Ukraine, where he was recruited by the SBU.
The second person arrested, courier Ivan Paskar (an individual included in the Russian Federation's list of terrorists and extremists), explained that it was he who delivered the explosives to Moscow after receiving them in Lithuania. On April 23, a third participant in the assassination attempt on the former SBU lieutenant colonel was detained in Lugansk. He transferred 10,000 rubles to the courier for the delivery of weapons disguised as cosmetics from Lithuania to Russia.
According to the FSB, another SBU agent involved in the assassination attempt was Yaroslava Khrestina (listed by Rosfinmonitoring as a terrorist and extremist). On December 24, 2024, a Moscow court arrested her in absentia under articles on committing a terrorist act and illegal trafficking of explosives as part of an organized group. Zhuravlev took photos of the house on Korovinskoye Highway and the cars near it - at the request of his common-law wife Khrestina, said his lawyer Artur Abatsiev.
