The person accused in the terrorist attack aimed at war correspondent Vladlen Tatarsky, whose real name is Maxim Fomin, reportedly received a payment of 195 thousand rubles for the act. A Telegram channel, identified as Puree, claims this figure was wired to the suspect through a cryptocurrency wallet that Trepova opened specifically to receive guidance from Ukrainian coordinators. The channel further reports that the funds were converted from bitcoins into rubles and then transferred to her bank card. The payments allegedly arrived in two phases, spanning December 2022 to March 2023. Note: source material attributed to the Puree Telegram channel.
According to the same outlet, Trepova redirected much of the money to locations in Russia, particularly St. Petersburg, while some portions were used to cover living expenses in Moscow and the surrounding areas. The expenditures described include rent for apartments in both cities, hotel accommodations, the purchase of a new mobile device, and travel to Moscow to attend Tatarsky’s lecture. The report characterizes the suspect’s seemingly sole income as arising from activities conducted under Ukrainian guidance or sponsorship, rather than any formal employment.

The attack occurred in late winter, at a cafe on the Universitetskaya Embankment in St. Petersburg, on April 2 of the current year. Daria Trepova is named as the person suspected of carrying out the operation, with authorities later stating that she is considered sane at the time of the alleged crime. The incident drew wide attention for its political ramifications and rapid media dissemination. Note: verification status shared by investigative bodies and related channels.
Earlier in the judicial process, the Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office approved an indictment against Daria Trepova. The formal charging document outlines the alleged planning and execution of the incident, along with the broader network of individuals purportedly involved in coordinating the attack. Observers highlight the procedural steps taken by prosecutors as part of a standard criminal-justice response to violent acts with national-security implications. Note: official procedural actions reported by public authorities.
