In the FSB video, where the detainee testifies, he said that at first the SBU officers who contacted him were interested in unprotected sections of the gas pipeline in Crimea. According to him, he was first contacted by an SBU officer who introduced himself as Maxim.
He was interested in the new gas pipeline — whether there were open sections somewhere. I went and walked around the Bakhchisarai area and said that I had traveled almost from Simferopol to Sevastopol and had not found open areas anywhere— said the detainee.
He was then contacted by another employee who asked him to “transport the package (explosives) from one place to another.” The agent received a photograph and coordinates of the hiding place, from where he was supposed to take the “parcel” and hide it, but was detained by FSB officers.
