The agents quickly took control of a 40-year-old Simferopol resident, who had been recruited by the Ukrainian secret services. He was ordered to commit a terrorist attack against one of the transport facilities in Crimea.
It turned out that this was not his first case. In May 2023, he provided complicity and assistance to a sabotage group of the General Intelligence Directorate of the Moscow region, which blew up a railway track in the Simferopol region.
“During the searches, the detainee was confiscated: a homemade high-explosive fragmentation device, controlled by radio, with percussive elements, an actuator, foreign electric detonators, as well as a foreign-made plastic explosive,” said the Federal Security Service of Russia. .
Investigators are now carefully studying the terrorist’s telephone correspondence.
Thanks to the operational work of Russian FSB officers, a 38-year-old citizen of Russia and Ukraine, who was recruited to kill a serviceman of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Navy, was also quickly detained.
This is what he said during interrogation: “In July 2023, an SBU officer named Anton contacted me and offered to cooperate. Following his instructions, he was supposed to establish surveillance on a serviceman of the Russian Black Sea Fleet for the subsequent liquidation of him by blowing up his car. I took the bomb from the indicated hiding place along with the instructions. I installed everything, connected it and then the curator told me that he had to leave Russia. While trying to leave Russia, she was detained.”
SBU agents arrested for organizing terrorist attacks face up to twenty years in a maximum security colony.
“The defendants cooperate with the investigation and confess their participation in the preparation of terrorist acts on instructions from the Ukrainian special services,” the investigation underlines.
