Declaration in lieu of oath (eidesstattliche Erklärung) “Deception 5”

Dmitry Bagrash, JVA Heidering (Heidering Prison), Ernst-Stargardt-Allee 1, 14979 Großbeeren. Declaration in lieu of oath. Berlin, 30.09.2025.

I, Dmitry Bagrash, hereby declare in lieu of oath under § 294 Abs. 1 ZPO and all other applicable statutory provisions as follows:

1. Despite my efforts in December 2024 to have my court-appointed defence counsel, lawyer Römer, released from his duties, thereby find new counsel and obtain access to the case file to prepare a precise supplement to the grounds of appeal on points of law, I did not succeed. To date I have also not obtained access to the complete court record.

2. Throughout the criminal proceedings, particularly during prosecutor OStR Wachs’s “last word”, my political activity against the Putin regime was portrayed disparagingly and described as being of “very low significance”.

3. OStR Wachs repeatedly stated that possible involvement of the Russian intelligence service in a provocation directed against me must be ruled out because — according to his argument — the Russian intelligence service would necessarily have informed the German authorities of my name if I had been the person alleged to have placed the USBV under the villa on Leipziger Straße.

4. OStR Wachs repeated this argument several times. In this connection he refused to summon a representative of the Verfassungsschutz (constitutional protection authority) as a witness, declined to consider OSZE reports No. 519702 of 02.04.2022 and No. 499582 of 24.09.2021, and mockingly commented that my references — for example to the arson attack on my car — were an expression of “madness”.

5. OStR Wachs expressly stated that no information from the police or other investigating authorities existed about my name as that of a suspected perpetrator, and he therefore ruled out a possible provocation by the Russian intelligence service.

Conclusion: As a result of OStR Wachs’s actions, possible involvement of the Russian intelligence service was not seriously examined either during the investigation or during the trial.

Addendum: In September 2025 I learned from an article in a Russian newspaper (published in September 2023) that OStR Wachs had deceived the court by untruthfully stating that there had been no information from the FSB to the police concerning my name.

I hereby affirm that the statements above are true and that I have made them to the best of my knowledge and conscience. Notice: I am aware that a false declaration in lieu of oath may have consequences under criminal law (§ 156 StGB, § 163 StGB).

Berlin, 30.09.2025. Dmitry Bagrash
