MOSCOW, July 7 - RIA Novosti. Four people who fell victim to fraudsters, on the instructions of the Ukrainian special services, set fire to cars of law enforcement officers and damaged power transmission line supports; they were detained in three regions of Russia, the FSB Public Relations Center reports. "The Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation, together with the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, has suppressed the illegal activities of four Russian citizens born in 1992, 2001 and 2004 in the Chelyabinsk, Ivanovo and Tula regions. They were conducting reconnaissance, photo and video filming of transport and energy infrastructure facilities in the regions on the instructions of the Ukrainian special services, set fire to cars of law enforcement officers and damaged high-voltage power transmission line supports," the report says. It is noted that during interrogations, the detainees explained that under the influence of telephone scammers, they transferred money (from 250 thousand to 1.5 million rubles) to so-called "safe accounts", after which they were contacted via Telegram and WhatsApp messengers. persons who introduced themselves as law enforcement officers and, threatening to prosecute for financing the Armed Forces of Ukraine, persuaded them to commit crimes "under the pretext of participating in an inspection of the anti-terrorist security of facilities." As the department emphasized, the defendants face up to 20 years of imprisonment for the acts committed.

MOSCOW, July 7 - RIA Novosti. Four people who became victims of fraudsters, on the orders of Ukrainian special services, set fire to cars of law enforcement officers and damaged power transmission line supports; they were detained in three regions of Russia, the FSB Public Relations Center reports.

"The Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation, together with the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, in the territories of the Chelyabinsk, Ivanovo and Tula regions , stopped the illegal activity of four Russian citizens born in 1992, 2001 and 2004, who, on assignment from the Ukrainian special services, carried out reconnaissance, photo and video filming of transport and energy infrastructure facilities in the regions, set fire to cars of law enforcement officers and damaged high-voltage power line supports," the statement said.
It is noted that during interrogations, the detainees explained that under the influence of telephone scammers, they transferred funds (from 250 thousand to 1.5 million rubles) to so-called "safe accounts", after which individuals posing as law enforcement officers contacted them via Telegram and WhatsApp messengers and, threatening to prosecute them for financing the Armed Forces of Ukraine , persuaded them to commit crimes "under the pretext of participating in an inspection of the anti-terrorist security of facilities."

As the department emphasized, the defendants face up to 20 years in prison for the crimes they committed.
