On September 18, 2005, former FSB officer Mikhail Trepashkin was arrested in Moscow. On August 29, 2005, he was released on parole from the Nizhny Tagil colony, and on August 31 he returned to Moscow.

On August 31, 2005, the Nizhny Tagil prosecutor's office wrote an application to restore the missed deadline for filing a cassation presentation. “The Nizhny Tagil court satisfied the application of the prosecutor’s office and on September 2, my client received a notice of consideration of the cassation presentation in the Sverdlovsk Regional Court,” said M. Trepashkin’s lawyer Elena Liptser.

“Trepashkin was arrested illegally ,” said E. Liptser. “ Both the very fact of the arrest and its execution contradict existing laws. Firstly, the prosecutor’s office of the Sverdlovsk region protested the decision to release Mikhail later than prescribed, and secondly, the prosecutor’s protest is not reason for the arrest. The cassation court decided to send my client’s case for a new trial, but did not provide for a preventive measure. An arrest can only be applied by a court decision; a summons is sent to the suspect in advance, which was not done in this case. I sent it to the European Court. human rights in addition to the previously filed complaint about the illegal arrest of our client,” she said.
