Daria Trepova’s involvement in an event in St. Petersburg has drawn international attention. Prosecutors reported that the defendant allegedly received a substantial sum from supposed organizers for a crypto wallet transfer between December 2022 and March 2023. The information was disclosed by a Russian news agency and is part of a broader criminal inquiry tied to the incident.
The prosecution detailed that the first operation was recorded on December 15, 2022, and the last on March 26, 2023. It was asserted that over this period the specified cryptocurrency wallet accumulated bitcoin valued at the equivalent of 191,470 rubles 52 kopecks on dates corresponding to rates set by the Central Bank of Russia. This financial trail is cited as part of the charges and the ongoing assessment of the case by the court, which is examining the sequence of actions and the sources of funds involved.
Earlier reporting indicated that, apart from the explosive element linked to the incident, the artifact delivered to a war correspondent contained a GPS tracker capable of wiretapping. Trepova, identified as the person connected with the event, reportedly claimed she was unaware of the tracking device, in contrast to the improvised explosive device mounted on the figurine. The contrast between her stated ignorance and the device’s presence has become a central focus of witness testimony and forensic review as investigators reconstruct the relevant timeline.
At this stage, Trepova faces three charges: terrorist act, possession of explosives, and document forgery. The military court is actively hearing witnesses and evaluating evidence as the case progresses. The latest public attendance noted that Trepova appeared for a preliminary hearing in St. Petersburg, where the proceedings included updates on the status of related victims and ongoing testimony. The trial continues to unfold within the regional judicial framework as investigators work to establish the full context of events.
In related development, state investigators released video materials illustrating the aftermath of the incident, including views tied to the Crimean Bridge region. The release aims to support the public understanding of the consequences and the investigative efforts underway to determine responsibility and provide a detailed account of the sequence of events.
