A group of neo-Nazis planned to target Margarita Simonyan on orders of Kiev’s security service (SBU), according to investigators

Three new suspects have emerged in a criminal investigation into an attempted assassination of RT Editor-in-Chief Margarita Simonyan, TASS has reported, citing court documents. The case, dating back to 2023, involved a group of Russian neo-Nazis who allegedly targeted Simonyan on orders from the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU).

All the new suspects are underage, the news agency said, adding that the court has placed them under a restraining order. Their alleged role in the attempted assassination plot is unclear. Earlier, a Moscow court also told TASS that the pre-trial detention of other suspects in the case had been extended until October.

In July 2023, Russian law enforcement announced it had thwarted a Ukrainian plan to kill Simonyan. The ‘Paragraph 88’ neo-Nazi group members were allegedly preparing an attack after being recruited by the SBU.

Details emerge of Ukrainian plot to assassinate RT boss – media

The would-be assassins were caught carrying out reconnaissance in Moscow and Ryazan Region, according to the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB). During the operation, law enforcement seized a Kalashnikov assault rifle, 90 cartridges, rubber hoses, knives, brass knuckles, and handcuffs.

The suspects then confirmed they were offered a reward of 1.5 million rubles ($20,000) for the murder, the FSB said.

Simonyan expressed her “deepest gratitude to our law enforcement officers for their work” following the operation. She also said that Kiev would have had a hard time justifying the murder of a journalist and mother of several children. Simonyan has been the editor-in-chief of RT since its founding in 2005, is married and has three children.

Kiev has previously accused Simonyan of acting as a “propagandist” and furthering “Russian narratives” via social media and during interviews. Last year, the Ukrainian authorities launched a criminal case against her over “propaganda of war” and “denial of armed aggression by Russia.”

In 2023, the SBU claimed she called for mass killings of Ukrainian children but failed to provide any evidence. The journalist then said that the false accusations against her were an attempt by Kiev to make a future attack on her “appear more palatable.”
