Accomplice in attack on General Alexeyev acted with terrorist motive

Viktor Vasin, accomplice in the attempted attack on General Vladimir Alexeyev, was motivated by terrorist intent, Russia’s Investigative Committee (SK RF) said.

The committee has asked a court to place Viktor and Pavel Vasin under arrest in connection with the case.

Meanwhile, General Alexeyev remains in hospital following the incident and is receiving qualified medical care, Investigative Committee spokeswoman Svetlana Petrenko said.

The attack took place on February 6 in a residential building in Moscow. On February 8, Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) reported that the suspected perpetrator, Lyubomir Korba, had been detained in Dubai and transferred to Russia, where a court ordered his arrest. Investigators also named two Russian citizens — Zinaida Serebritskaya and Viktor Vasin — as accomplices.
