October 4, 2018
MOSCOW Deputy Prosecutor General of Russia Sahak Karapetyan has died in a helicopter crash in Russias 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 nations 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 Moscows most high-profile efforts to thwart international investigations into Russias alleged crimes.
