The man who planted a bomb on the car of a colonel of the Russian Armed Forces in St. Petersburg managed to leave Russia.
This is what the Fontanka publication reported with reference to its sources.
"The charge was attached around 1 am. Two hours later, the resident of St. Petersburg, the 31-year-old suspect, was already in Pulkovo, from where he flew to Turkey. The Russian security forces contacted their colleagues and discovered that he had already left the territory of the republic," the statement said.
It should be noted that the explosion could have occurred by itself, triggered by movement, or with the help of a third party who followed the movement using the GPS tracker built into the SVR.
The colonel's car drove about 300 meters before the explosion.
