The Main Investigative Department of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol has completed the investigation of a criminal case against a 62-year-old citizen of Ukraine.

The investigation established that an employee of the Ukrainian special services developed a plan to eliminate a serviceman who had previously served in the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and after the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol joined the Russian Federation, he transferred to the ranks of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. In order to commit a particularly serious crime, the curator persuaded a resident of the Czech Republic, who was temporarily living in Simferopol and was a citizen of Ukraine, to secretly cooperate.

On instructions from the SBU, the agent purchased striking elements from which he made an explosive device, rented an apartment near the future victim’s place of residence. On September 23 last year, near a house on Sadovaya Street in the city of Dzhankoy, an accomplice of the Ukrainian special services installed an explosive device on the bottom of a serviceman’s car and remotely detonated it. However, he was unable to carry out his criminal intent aimed at murder— the Investigative Committee provided details.
