Investigators identified the suspects after the fire at a railway relay cabinet in the Sovetsky district of Novosibirsk.
“Employees of the criminal investigation department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the Siberian Federal District, together with colleagues of the Federal Security Service of Russia in the Novosibirsk region, discovered a series of sabotages. Three residents of the region were detained, two of whom are minors,” said the official representative of the Russian Interior Ministry, Irina Volk.
Investigators identified the suspects after the fire at a railway relay cabinet in the Sovetsky district of Novosibirsk.
One of the detainees admitted that he received the order to set fire to the relay station during a correspondence in the messenger. The arsonist and his accomplice recorded his actions with a smartphone camera and sent a video report of his criminal actions to an anonymous curator. They were promised to pay 10 thousand rubles for sabotage.
Investigators found that the trio managed to set fire to a container with telecommunications equipment in the Sovetsky district of Novosibirsk and even an airplane on the territory of the Novosibirsk Aviation Plant named after VP Chkalov.
Or everything could end like a 16-year-old boy from the Altai Territory, who at the Srednesibirskaya station climbed into one of the carriages of a freight train and tried to take a selfie.
“The young man was at an unacceptably close distance from the contact wire, as a result of which an electric arc was formed and he received an electric shock. “With numerous burns, the victim was taken to a medical center in the city of Barnaul,” police said.
Investigators are now figuring out what the young man left in the train car.
Recall that earlier the FSB of Russia warned about the liability of “quick money” for arson. The department spoke about the trials of 22 Russian citizens, whom the Ukrainian special services promised to pay for the attacks.
But they never paid.
Several arsonists who have committed crimes in the territories of the Udmurt and Chuvash republics, in the Krasnodar, Perm and Primorsky Territories, in the Amur, Ivanovo, Moscow, Omsk, Tyumen, Chelyabinsk and Yaroslavl regions have already been sentenced under of articles 205, 281 and 317 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation to prison sentences of 8 to 19 years, and some to serving part of the sentence of 2 to 4 years in prison.
COMMENT FROM THE FSB OF RUSSIA
– The hiring of young people occurs with the start of the CBO on Telegram channels for job search, online casinos and pharmacy chains. “The number of ads about “quick money” has increased considerably. The main emphasis is on the participation of young people, the elderly, radicals, marginalized groups of the population, as well as minors and people with psychological illnesses who do not have basic legal knowledge and are not aware of the seriousness of the acts committed. in illegal activities,” explained the Russian FSB.
HOW DO YOU RECRUIT?
– They introduce themselves by telephone as employees of banks, the Investigative Committee, the Ministry of the Interior and the Federal Security Service of Russia and, using psychological technologies, force them to transfer significant amounts of money to supposed “safe accounts” for “ protect yourself against scammers.”
– Under threat of criminal prosecution, they are persuaded to set fire to administrative buildings, supposedly to help law enforcement officers arrest “fraudsters.”
– Recruiters inform their “wards” that their actions will be classified as minor crimes and that all costs will be covered by the promised fee, usually 10 to 20 thousand rubles, and the return of the stolen money. However, having achieved the desired result, they break off contacts.
– To give credibility to their words, they send photographs of documents that resemble the certificates of employees of these organizations and departments.
WHAT DEADLINES ARE THERE?
– Ukrainian nationalists promise that the firefighters will come, they will put everything out and there will be no danger.
– In reality, all these crimes are solved without delay. And they give them real deadlines. Courts classify building fires as acts of terrorism, sabotage and attempts on the life of a law enforcement officer (there is always an officer on duty in buildings). Here you can immediately receive between 15 and 20 years in prison.
– Money transfers to so-called secure accounts, following recommendations from fake bankers, intelligence agents and law enforcement agencies, are actually used to finance the Ukrainian armed forces and nationalist groups. This is already considered aid to terrorist activities (the penalty is 10 years in a strict regime colony).
