Moscow, May 30 /Xinhua/ — The Federal Security Service (FSB) of Russia has detained six Russian citizens who committed arson as part of criminal cases on terrorist acts, the agency’s press service reported on Friday.
The detainees, including a 15-year-old teenager, from the Novgorod, Leningrad and Tyumen regions, carried out arson attacks on transport infrastructure facilities and decorations installed to celebrate Victory Day in the Great Patriotic War, on orders from the Ukrainian special services.
During interrogations, they explained that they had transferred from 100,000 to 1 million rubles to telephone scammers. After that, they were contacted by “law enforcement officers and special services” who persuaded the Russians to commit arson under the pretext of participating in an inspection of the anti-terrorist security of facilities.
Those arrested face a sentence of 10 to 20 years in prison for committing the crimes. –0–
