[KavkazUzel] Security forces detained a resident of Novorossiysk when he removed an explosive device from a hiding place, which he intended to use for a terrorist attack. According to investigators, a resident of Novorossiysk born in 1990 contacted members of a pro-Ukrainian terrorist organization on Telegram and received instructions from his supervisor to take an explosive device with a detonator from a hiding place in order to prepare a terrorist attack. A resident of Novorossiysk arrived at the hiding place and removed an explosive device from it, after which he was detained by security forces. A criminal case has been opened against him for participating in the activities of a terrorist organization; the suspect faces up to 20 years in prison, RIA Novosti reported today, citing the press service of the FSB Directorate for Krasnodar Krai. "Kavkazsky Uzel" also wrote that on January 25, a resident of the Dinsky district was detained  for setting fire to three restaurants in Krasnodar. He said that he committed the arsons under pressure from unknown persons who hacked his social network account and threatened to use the data to commit crimes. Later, during interrogation, he said that his Ukrainian curator promised him 35 thousand rubles for setting fire to three restaurants. |
