A new criminal case has been initiated against Anastasia Ivakhnenko, who is in a detention center for a 'terrorism' case due to the arson of a cell tower, now on charges of 'state treason'. The girl reported this in a letter to the project Avtozak Live. This article provides for a punishment of 12 to 20 years, or life imprisonment.
A resident of the Samara region was detained on July 25, 2024, under a protocol for 'minor hooliganism'. The police officer indicated in the protocol that the girl was swearing in a public place and 'insultingly approached citizens'. The court sent her to 15 days of administrative arrest. At the same time, the court ruling stated that Ivakhnenko pleaded guilty.
After the end of the administrative arrest, the girl was sent to a detention center for a 'terrorism' case, committed 'by a group of persons by prior conspiracy'. As the security forces claimed, she organized the arson of a cell tower 'for material gain' on the instructions of a 'representative of the Ukrainian side', with whom she communicated in a messenger. Ivakhnenko also planned to set fire to a relay cabinet at a railway station in Samara, the FSB reported.
In a letter to the 'First Department'* the girl wrote that the arson was committed by her ex-boyfriend, who named her the organizer of the crime during interrogation.
Anastasia claims that the case against her is based solely on the testimony of her ex-boyfriend and fabricated by the FSB.
