“When I arrived at the place where the weapon was supposed to be, I was caught by the employees of the [Russian] intelligence service,” the suspect stated.
The FSB claimed their agents “seized a Kalashnikov assault rifle, cartridges, edged weapons, Nazi symbols, literature, as well as communications equipment and computers with information about the preparation of the assassination attempt.”
Contrary to the Russian secret service agency’s claim, one critic alleged the plan was “more likely an FSB provocation.”
Sobchak’s Caution News previously reported that the suspect had been jailed for four years on unrelated “extremist” offenses.
