The prosecutor requested up to 19 years for those accused of setting fire to a helicopter at Ostafevo airport.

On April 14, the prosecutor asked that those accused of setting fire to a helicopter at Ostafievo Airport in Moscow be sentenced to 13 to 19 years in prison.

The hearing on the criminal case is being held in the 2nd Western District Military Court.

"I ask you to impose a sentence: Stanislav Khamidulin — in the form of imprisonment for a term of 19 years, Danila Yamskov — for a term of 19 years, Nikita Bulgakov — for 19 years, Roman Yakovets — for 19 years and Anastasia Mochalina — for 13 years," TASS quotes the statement of the state prosecutor.

On April 30 last year, five young men set fire to a K-32 helicopter at Moscow's Ostafievo airfield. Law enforcement agencies detained four boys and one girl aged 19-22 years. All of them came to the capital from the regions. The young men confessed to what they had done, and a criminal case was opened against them regarding the terrorist attack.
