In Russia, 39 people were simultaneously convicted of arson and sabotage

The court sentenced to various terms 39 residents from 17 Russian regions who committed arson and planned sabotage on instructions from the Ukrainian special services. This was reported by RIA Novosti with reference to the Public Relations Center of the FSB of Russia.

Convicts are from 16 to 31 years old. According to the court decision, they received from 10 to 26 years in prison.

The department clarified that the detainees were recruited into groups looking for quick money. Expecting to get easy money, they carried out various tasks of the Ukrainian special services - they set fire to aviation equipment and transport and communications facilities, and also planned sabotage on the railway. After completing the instructions, the performers were blocked or significantly smaller amounts were transferred to them for the “work.”
