This document reports on the May 2004 sentencing of former FSB officer and lawyer Mikhail Trepashkin to four years for disclosing state secrets and ammunition possession. Trepashkin claimed his prosecution was a "contract job" intended to prevent him from investigating the 1999 apartment bombings on behalf of Sergei Kovalev's public commission. The document highlights his 2002 task to verify claims by suspect Achimez Gochiyayev, who alleged he rented basements for the bombings at the behest of an FSB associate. It notes an FSB Internal Security Directorate (USB) letter from January 2002 that accused Trepashkin of participating in a Boris Berezovsky-linked "disinformation campaign" regarding the bombings. Trepashkin's defense argued that the ammunition was planted to justify the search and that the "state secret" involved information about a participant in the 2002 Dubrovka hostage crisis. The text also mentions Trepashkin's earlier involvement in Alexander Litvinenko's 1998 press conference concerning an assassination plot against Berezovsky.
