The FSB and the Ministry of Internal Affairs detained more than 50 teenage saboteurs

In 21 regions of Russia, the FSB and the Ministry of Internal Affairs stopped the activities of more than 50 teenage saboteurs. The official representative of the Investigative Committee (IC) of Russia, Svetlana Petrenko, reported this to Lenta.ru.

According to the investigation, more than 39 criminal cases were sent to the courts against 57 young people aged 14 to 17 years. The defendants set fire to transport infrastructure facilities, communication base stations and various facilities, acting on orders from the Ukrainian special services.

“The Russian Investigative Committee draws attention to the ongoing cynical actions of the Ukrainian special services, which purposefully involve citizens, including minors, in crimes, promising them an imaginary high income,” Petrenko said.

The investigation recalled that participation in terrorist and sabotage activities entails inevitable criminal liability, up to life imprisonment.
