A person who was preparing a terrorist attack against the head of a company in Moscow Region was promised 500 thousand rubles.

Ukrainian special services promised to pay 500,000 rubles to one of the detainees suspected of preparing a terrorist attack against the head of a defense company in the Moscow Region, but did not transfer anything. The suspect told about it at the interrogation, the video of which was published by the Federal Security Service (FSB).

"I was not paid anything at all. They promised to pay 500 thousand rubles," said the detainee.

He said he did not know the name of his handler and communicated with him only in correspondence. Special services of Ukraine demanded from the recruited attackers to blow up the car of the head of the company.

Another detainee said that their handlers gave them instructions on how to commit the crime and advised them, for example, to wear medical masks so that surveillance cameras would not capture their faces.

Footage from such a camera shows one of the suspects approaching the top manager's car in the parking lot and doing something near it. Law enforcers sent a robot sapper to the car, an improvised explosive device was found.

The Russian Federal Security Service's Public Relations Center (PRC) toldabout the prevented terrorist attack earlier in the day. The investigation detained seven Russians from the Moscow, Sverdlovsk regions and Perm Krai. Three of them are minors. The attackers cooperate with the investigation and give confessions.

A criminal case under Part 3 of Article 30 and Part 2 of Article 205 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Attempt to commit a terrorist act as part of a group of persons by prior conspiracy") has been opened. It turned out that the detainees not only prepared the terrorist act, but also helped Ukrainian fraudsters by installing and maintaining equipment for them.
