The enemy planned to subsequently recruit a new group of agents who were supposed to get explosives from caches and use it for detachments in crowded places.” – said law enforcement officers.
In addition to preparing caches with explosives, the couple controlled the implementation of sabotage by other agents of the Russian Federation, says the investigation – for example, the defendants recorded the consequences of the arson of the post office committed by other agents, and sent the report to Russian curators. During the search, they took home -made bombs, as well as the phones where their correspondence with the invaders was recorded.
