Earlier in the case, Denis Kapustin, the founder of the organization known as the Russian Volunteer Troops, was added to the wanted list on suspicions related to organizing sabotage in Bryansk region and an attempted assassination targeting Konstantin Malofeev, the founder of Tsargrad. This development aligns with ongoing investigations into extremist activity and acts of violence, as reported by law enforcement and security agencies.
According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Denis Evgenievich Kapustin, born in 1984, is sought under an article of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, reflecting the formal legal charges that accompany his case and the ongoing criminal proceedings.
The Federal Security Service (FSB) has described Kapustin as the organizer of the alleged attempt to disrupt critical infrastructure in the Volgograd region, highlighting concerns about threats to energy security and regional stability as part of the broader security assessment.
Rosfinmonitoring, the federal financial monitoring service, added Kapustin to its list of individuals and organizations linked to extremist activities or terrorism following the Bryansk region sabotage, indicating enhanced scrutiny of financial networks and possible illicit funding routes connected to the case.
In public disclosures, Kapustin is identified by the alias Nikitin and is noted as the organizer of international mixed martial arts events associated with the far-right movement White Rex, pointing to a pattern of overt links to extremist circles and propaganda through athletic events as part of the broader investigation.
