    Lawyers for Dmitry Yakovlev and his wife, Julia, argued yesterday in Brooklyn Federal Court to keep the evidence out of the couple’s upcoming trial.

    Dmitry Yakovlev is charged with killing translator Irina Malezhik, who vanished in 2007, and Viktor Alekseyev, whose dismembered body parts were strewn in a New Jersey woods in 2006.

    The couple also is charged with committing frauds using the victims’ names.

    Agents excavated the couple’s basement in Sea Gate for Malezhik’s remains in August 2009. They didn’t find a body, but panties found on the boiler room floor contained Malezhik’s DNA, according to FBI agent Tracie Razzagone.

    Inside a filing cabinet, agents also found a thick envelope containing photos of Alekseyev and an unidentified woman, Razzagone said.

    Julia Yakovlev’s lawyer said his client was unaware of the items. “She’s shocked that it was discovered,” said Alex Grosshtern.

    it could have been put there by a boiler repairman. However the FBI must have some more info since they need it to get a warrant to enter a house

    I fully agree with all those who are not excited that this happened and who are hurt that this happened, and stick up for te russians, etc. I just wanted to bring up a point. here on vin if this story would’ve involved orthodox, or for many, even modern jews, the outcry, bashing, degrading etc, against this jew in particular, and the jews as a whole would be condemned and villified by sooo many here on vin, to the extent that it would border if not be blatant anti semitism. Please let’s keep at least the same standards especially when our brothers are only accused and even involved, in things which should never be done. and especially where people were set up! (for instance) smr. was sentenced for something he was not arrested for, for which the loan wouldve been able and wouldve been paid back had not judge reade ym”sh been soooo blatantly anti semitic, and not let the business stay afloat, not let it be sold till the value fell too much that these loans were unrepayable.
