In this appeal dated May 13, 2002, former FSB investigator Mikhail Trepashkin petitions State Duma Security Committee Deputy Chairman S.N. Yushenkov regarding his ongoing criminal prosecution. Trepashkin claims his January 2002 arrest was orchestrated by FSB Director Nikolai Patrushev in retaliation for his December 2001 REN-TV interview, where he criticized the unprofessional investigation of the 1999 apartment bombings and Patrushev's leadership. The document describes a history of conflict between Trepashkin and high-ranking officials including Patrushev, Mikhail Barsukov, and Nikolai Kovalev, whom Trepashkin alleges protected Chechen criminal groups and militants during the mid-1990s. Trepashkin further details several assassination attempts against him in 1996 and 1997, linking them to testimony provided by Alexander Litvinenko and others in the context of the Berezovsky case. He asserts that the ammunition used to charge him in 2002 was planted by the FSB and that his computer was illegally accessed to compromise his legal files. The appeal concludes by asking the State Duma to oversee the legality of the investigation into his case.
