One of the FSB officers in this story, Dmitry Dokuchaev, was arrested a few weeks ago by the Russian authorities. He was arrested along with his FSB supervisor Sergey Mikhailov. Authorities cited treason, but the most interesting bit of the story was that the two were part of the Shaltai-Boltai hacks. The group was notorious for hacking government officials, and leaking e-mails and sensitive reports. Their highest-profile target was Dmitry Medvedev. So, yes, dear american attorney, it's all quite sad. These counter-intelligence officers not only hacked yahoo, but their own government as well. My guess is that they were grunts serving one of the power blocks within Kremlin. Hence the leaks targeting certain Kremlin officials, and not others. That's why they were safe for so long. Another funny bit you can read between the lines, is that when the Americans tracked them down, they probably tried to recruit them as their own spies within the FSB. Or at least ferret out as much info as they could, probably in exchange for a sweeter deal back in the US. And that's when the Russian counter-intelligence decided to pull the plug. Hence, you see them being arrested primarily for "treason and colluding with the FBI", rather than the Shaltai-Boltai leaks.
