Teenager sends letter about 'mining' Russian school out of fear of losing accounts in favourite games

In the city of Semenov, Nizhny Novgorod region, a minor was involved in a criminal scheme after threats to lose accounts in computer games. Under pressure from unknown people, he sent an email to the school with a message about the alleged planting of explosives. The incident was reported in the regional Department of the interior Ministry.

According to police, the attacker contacted the teenager born in 2009 through the messenger and demanded to follow his instructions. In case of refusal, the unknown person threatened to block or delete the game profiles and emails of the young man. Afraid of losing access to his accounts, the student agreed to complete the tasks.

The offenders registered an email address in the name of the teenager in advance and instructed him to send a letter from him to the administration of the local school. The report referred to the mining of the building, and also contained a requirement to transfer 1.5 million rubles to a bank account. Otherwise, the sender threatened to bring the explosive device into action.

After receiving the alarming letter, law enforcement officers established the circumstances of its sending and came to the minor for the necessary activities. On the fact of the incident, a criminal case was opened under part 2 of Article 207 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, which provides for liability for knowingly false reporting of an act of terrorism.

In Dagestan, the ex-official bought medical nutrition instead of medicines.

The head doctor of the Russian medical institution was accused of exceeding authority with great damage.
