> from russia with blood there was no hope of compelling romanovich to confess his role in the attack, because he, like terkibaev, had since been killed in a car crash.  but trepashkin tracked down the building manager whose description had been used to create the sketch and asked him which of the two men he had really seen. not only did the witness confirm that romanovich was the man he had spotted acting suspiciously before the bombings, he also made another striking revelation. two days after he provided the description to the local police, he was apprehended by officers from the fsb, who dragged him to an interrogation suit at lefortovo prison. there they showed him a photograph of gochiyayev and compelled him to give a new statement declaring this was the man he had seen. this was the strongest evidence yet that the fsb's main suspect had been framed. trepashkin had an opportunity to present his findings on morozoya's behalf at the trials of the two suspects that russia prosecutors had charged with plotting the bombings alongside gochiyayev, which were scheduled to start in october. but he knew how the fsb worked after decades in its service, and he was braced for trouble.  as an insurance policy, he handed all his files to a journalist he knew in moscow with the instruction to publish them if anything should happen to him before the trials. sure enough, a week before the hearings began, trepashkin was arrested.  fsb officers swooped in on his car and announced they had found an illegal firearm. trepashkin insisted it had been planted there, but then he was thrown in jail on a separate charge of ''revealing state secrets.''  he would remain behind bars for four years.
