A prosecutor in St. Petersburg has requested a three-year suspended sentence for a woman who left a note with an "insulting inscription" on the grave of President Vladimir Putin's parents, human rights group OVD-Info said on Wednesday.
A criminal case was opened in October against Irina Tsybaneva, 60, who investigators say placed the note in a city cemetery earlier that month.
Russian news outlet Mediazona said the note addressed Putin's mother and father as the "parents of a maniac" and that "the whole world prays for his death".
