MADRID, 3 Abr. (EUROPA PRESS) -

Russian authorities have identified Daria Trepova as the person allegedly responsible for the murder of blogger Vladlen Tatarski in a bomb attack carried out on Sunday in a cafeteria in the city of Saint Petersburg, which left more than 30 injured.

The Russian Interior Ministry has put Trepova on its list of wanted people and indicates that she is wanted as part of the investigation into the event, according to the Russian news agency Interfax.

Hours earlier, information had emerged about the suspect's arrest, although the authorities have indicated that Trepova's mother and sister have been taken to a police station to testify, although the woman has not been located.

Sources from the Ministry of the Interior have indicated that Trepova's relatives "are not detained." "They are being interviewed. Based on their results, we will make a decision on their position in the case," they have settled.

For its part, the Russian Ministry of Health has raised the total number of injured by the explosion to 32 and has indicated that ten of the victims are in serious condition. Likewise, another 16 people, including a fourteen-year-old teenager, are in moderate condition.

The blogger, whose real name is Maxim Fomin, born in the Ukrainian region of Donbas (east), was participating in a "creative event" in the cafeteria when he was given a figure that concealed the explosive, according to sources quoted by the Russian news agency. TASS.

Tatarski was one of the bloggers with contacts in the Russian forces who routinely criticize military commanders, although they rarely target Russian President Vladimir Putin. Putin himself has recognized the importance of these propagandists to the point that the Kremlin has created a body to coordinate the government with these content creators.

Likewise, he regularly traveled embedded in the Russian forces in Ukraine and was one of the protagonists of the official ceremony in which the annexation of the Russian-controlled eastern regions of Ukraine was formalized in September. "We will conquer them all. We will kill them all. We will loot what we need and everything will be our way," he said.

Tatarski would also be the second personality in favor of the war assassinated on Russian soil after the daughter of ultranationalist ideologist Alexander Dugin, Daria Dugina, died in a bomb attack in August.
