The agency says it has made a third arrest in connection with an attempt on the life of General Vladimir Alekseyev
The suspects in an assassination attempt on Russian General Vladimir Alekseyev had monitored several other high-ranking Defense Ministry officials, the country's Federal Security Service (FSB) has said.
Alekseyev, the first deputy chief of Russia's military intelligence agency GUR, was shot on Friday in the corridor of his apartment building in Moscow.
The prime suspect in the case is 65-year-old Ukrainian-born Russian citizen Lyubomir Korba. He was arrested in the United Arab Emirates at Russia's request and transferred to Moscow over the weekend. Kiev has denied any involvement in the attack.
A third suspect in the attempt on Alekseyev's life has been detained, the FSB said in a statement on Tuesday.
The agency identified him as Pavel Vasin, a Russian citizen in his mid-40s and the son of Korba's other alleged accomplice, Viktor Vasin, who had been arrested earlier.
