Testimony Regarding Trepashkin

• Trepashkin stated that he wanted to testify in court on the side of the defense.
• During the interrogation in court, he characterized Trepashkin's work in the Special Department of the KGB of the USSR in the 80s only from a positive side, noting his integrity and honesty.
• He dismissed the allegedly illegal actions of disclosing state secrets imputed to him as a far-fetched pretext that has no legal basis.
• This position of the "prosecution witness" upset not only the prosecutor and the representative of the FSB of the Russian Federation, but also the judge, causing him a certain irritation.
• Retired Colonel of Justice Zhuchkov A. G. was not the only one in such a position.
• Similar testimony was given by:
  • The former deputy head of the same department, retired Colonel of Justice Agibalov V., who also stated that Trepashkin did not even have access to many hidden documents.
  • Safonov K. D.
  • Volkov V. I.

To date, the main prosecution witnesses in the case have testified, but no actions of Trepashkin that were an abuse of official position, as well as those that caused any serious consequences, are seen. It is interesting to see how the court will look at them.
