The SBU exposed an FSB agent who was preparing a terrorist attack at a chemical plant in Dnipropetrovsk region: the investigation is complete and the case has been sent to court
Counterintelligence and investigators of the Security Service completed the pretrial investigation and sent an indictment to court against an FSB agent who in March of this year was preparing an explosion at a chemical plant in the Dnipropetrovsk region.
At that time SBU officers prevented a high-profile terrorist attack and detained the suspect in Kamianske “red-handed” while he was assembling an improvised bomb in his apartment.
As the investigation found, the enemy’s task was carried out by a locksmith at the aforementioned enterprise who had been recruited by the Russian special service.
To carry out the terrorist act he retrieved explosive material from a cache, from which he was to make an improvised explosive device (IED) based on 1,5 kg of plastid and place it under the pipes in one of the plant’s workshops.
After that the rashists planned to remotely detonate the explosives during a work shift in order to cause the maximum number of casualties.
According to the case materials, the locksmith came to the FSB’s attention when he was looking for “easy” earnings in chats of thematic Telegram channels.
After recruitment he received a test task: conduct reconnaissance near the administrative buildings of local TCCs and “report” to his handler about military facilities with the largest concentration of people.
In addition, the suspect tracked for the enemy the cars and residences of Ukrainian soldiers and their family members, whom the rashists planned to eliminate.
Soon the FSB handed the agent the coordinates of a stash masked in a tree belt, from which he took the explosives and an electric detonator for the terrorist attack on the industrial facility.
During searches, components for an IED and 4 mobile phones were seized from the detainee, which he used in rotation for clandestine communication with the rashists.
According to the Security Service materials, the suspect is charged under two articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine:
◼️ part 2 article 111 (state treason committed under martial law);
◼️ part 1 article 14, part 1 article 258 (preparation for committing a terrorist act).
The perpetrator faces life imprisonment with confiscation of property.
The complex measures were carried out by officers of the Main Department of the SBU in Dnipropetrovsk region under the coordination of the SBU Counterintelligence Department and with prosecutorial supervision by the regional prosecutor’s office.
