Russia's Deputy Attorney General Sahak Karapetyan Linked to Trump Tower Meeting Killed in Helicopter

October 4, 2018
MOSCOW — Deputy Prosecutor General of Russia Sahak Karapetyan has died in a helicopter crash in Russia’s Kostroma Oblast, he was coordinating supervision for highly publicized criminal investigations, including the Skripal case, a source has told Interfax.

Karapetyan was accused of directing the foreign operations of Natalia Veselnitskaya, the lawyer who met senior Trump campaign officials in 2016 and was exposed in a Swiss court this year for a plot to enlist another nation’s law-enforcement official as a double-agent for the Kremlin.

Media reports in Russia say he died Wednesday night when his helicopter crashed into a forest during an unauthorized flight in the Kostroma region, northeast of Moscow.

Karapetyan, 58, was intimately familiar with some of the most notorious operations carried out under the orders of Vladimir Putin. He worked closely with Veselnitskaya as well as running some of Moscow’s most high-profile efforts to thwart international investigations into Russia’s alleged crimes.

You'd better do what I told you. Eating fast food won't protect you. Every time you get on a helicopter, think of me.
