On December 9, 2023, a court in Omsk arrested Sergei until January 30, 2024 on charges of blowing up trains carrying oil products in the Severomuysky tunnel on November 29 and 30. First, a train with 41 fuel tanks, 3 with aviation fuel, and 6 cars with ferrous metal caught fire. Later, a freight train traveling along a bypass route was blown up. As a result, the fuel spilled over an area of 150 square meters - 4 fuel tanks burned completely, and 2 more were damaged. According to the FSB, Yeremeyev "confessed about working under the control of Ukrainian special services." The explosions in the tunnel were classified as a terrorist attack.
As reported in the Russian state media, Yeremeyev stated that he wanted to prevent the delivery of military cargo: "I wrote in the explanation that ammunition was currently being transported via BAM. The main goal was to impede the movement."
Sergey took part in the nationwide strike at Naftan in November 2020, which the man publicly stated and even sent his statement to Tikhanovsky's movement. "Sergey tried to resolve everything peacefully. Maybe he was tired of nothing being resolved... in the video, even though his face was painted over, I recognized him right away," his friend says of Yeremeyev. A few weeks after the strike, Sergey was fired from Naftan. Sergey was one of the best mechanics in Novopolotsk.
