MOSCOW, January 15. /TASS/. The same person who ordered the murder of military commander Vladlen Tatarsky (Maxim Fomin) put a hit out on writer Zakhar Prilepin as well, Russia’s Supreme Court said in a decision to an appeal from Alexander Permyakov, convicted in the attempted murder of Prilepin.

According to the court, both crimes were ordered by a member of Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU).

"As a result of Permyakov's active contribution to the investigation of the case, the organizer of the crimes was identified, a criminal case was opened against him and a separate proceeding was initiated. Thanks to Permyakov's cooperation with the investigation, it was possible to establish that the money was transferred to him by the same person who transferred money to Tryopova, who was previously convicted of committing a terrorist act," the document says.

Earlier, the case of Daria Tryopova, convicted of murdering Tatarsky, said that an SBU agent had ordered the hit.

Permyakov was sentenced to life imprisonment for blowing up Prilepin's car. He filed several appeals and reached the Supreme Court, which upheld the original verdict.
