MOSCOW, September 6 (RIA Novosti) - A Moscow court rejected Wednesday an appeal by the defense of a former FSB colonel, currently serving a jail sentence for divulging state secrets, against his transfer to a colony in the Urals.
A military court in Moscow sentenced Mikhail Trepashkin to four years in jail May 19, 2004. The court said that while serving with the KGB, and later as an officer with its main successor, the Federal Security Service (FSB), from 1984 to 1997, Trepashkin made copies of internal documents and stored them at home.
Trepashkin is currently serving his sentence at penal colony No. 13 in Nizhny Tagil in the Sverdlovsk Region.
