ST PETERSBURG, May 24 (Itar-Tass) - Prosecutors brought charges against the second suspect, accused of planning an assassination attempt on the life of St.Petersburg governor Valentina Matviyenko, the regional branch of the Federal Security Service told Itar-Tass on Thursday.
Another two persons figuring in the case are on recognizance.
If proven guilty, they face 12 to 20 years in jail or life imprisonment. According to the FSB, they are members of an extremist youth organization.
The FSB did not specify the name of the organization. The crime was prevented at an early stage - approximately a month before the planned assassination attempt.
The FSB public relations department earlier told Tass that the suspects were detained on May 16 red-handed, but their names are not disclosed in the interests of the investigation.
