Attack alarm in Moscow, investigations by 007 USA and Fsb: teenager arrested

Un adolescente è stato arrestato dopo l’allarme attentato emerso ieri, 31 ottobre, al museo Tsaritsyno di Mosca. The investigations were conducted by the United States after the report reached the US embassy which also involved the FSB, the Russian Federal Security Service. The arrested young man had published a video on TikTok in which he threatened to commit a crime in the museum park: the materials found on social media led to a search of the teenager's home where clothing and accessories attributable to possible attacks were found.

La notizia dell’arresto dell’adolescente è stata resa nota dal Centro relazioni pubbliche (Prc) dell'Fsb, citato dall'agenzia Tass. "The Federal Security Service, together with the Russian National Guard, the Ministry of the Interior and the Russian Investigative Committee, conducted an investigation into information received from US law enforcement agencies regarding the preparation of a terrorist attack in Moscow, near the Tsaritsyno Museum-Reserve. Following these investigations - reads the note from the Security Service - a minor of Russian nationality was arrested. He had published photos on TikTok showing him wearing tactical equipment, a balaclava, cap, glasses and headphones, while holding an object similar to an automatic weapon, as well as photos taken inside the Tsaritsyno Museum-Reserve, with the caption: 'I found a place'".

“The communications revealed a TikTok account used to post threats, a subscription to a neo-Nazi channel on Telegram and a significant number of searches relating to terrorist attacks, massacres and other violent events,” the FSB added. During the investigation, for reasons of public safety, all cultural events scheduled at the museum-reserve were canceled and security measures in the surrounding area were strengthened. "We are grateful to the American side for the information provided," concluded the FSB.
