The Russian secret service FSB suspects a Ukrainian of having been involved in the attack on Darya Dugina. The man is said to have helped the main suspect and left Russia shortly before the crime.
Russia’s domestic intelligence agency FSB has named a second suspect in the deadly car bombing of Darya Dugina, daughter of nationalist ideologue Alexander Dugin.
According to the state agency TASS, the FSB announced that it was the Ukrainian Bogdan Z., born in 1978, who entered via Estonia on July 30.
Papers and license plates procured?
The man is said to have helped prepare the crime. Z. is said to have obtained forged papers and license plates for the main suspect, Natalja W., and helped her assemble an explosive device that was attached to Dugina’s car. Z. left Russia the day before the attack, the FSB said.
Shortly after the crime, the investigators named W., who came from Ukraine, as a suspect. The FSB said the killing of Dugina was “prepared and committed” by Ukrainian secret services. Kyiv denies any involvement. The former Duma deputy and Putin opponent Ilya Ponomarev says he has indications that a partisan group carried out the attack. He did not provide any evidence to support the allegation.
Like her father, Darya Dugina was known as a supporter of the war against Ukraine.
