These legal documents from March 2003 detail the criminal charges brought against Mikhail Ivanovich Trepashkin, a former state security official and lawyer. Investigator Vladimirov V. Yu. and Judge Tkachuk N.N. addressed allegations that Trepashkin abused his official powers, disclosed state secrets, and illegally possessed ammunition. The charges stem from Trepashkin's service between 1993 and 1997, where he reportedly used personal floppy disks to copy restricted information and removed sensitive documents from his workplace. The court affirmed the presence of signs of a crime under Article 285 of the Criminal Code but noted legal complexities regarding his status as a lawyer. Trepashkin was subsequently placed under a recognizance not to leave as part of the proceedings. These legal actions occurred while Trepashkin was investigating the 1999 apartment bombings.
