A resident of the Kostroma region became a defendant in a criminal case after false reporting of a crime

Employees of two Kostroma departments - the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the FSB - identified and detained a citizen who reported false information to the police about the impending crime.

On the night of November 10, a 41-year-old resident, who was drunk, called the duty unit of the Sharya police and reported an alleged crime against the ice arena in the city.

This fact was promptly checked by the building and the surrounding area, which confirmed the falsity of the report.

A criminal case was opened under Part 2 of Art. 207 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, this is a deliberately false report of an act of terrorism.

Responsibility for false reports of terrorist attacks and other crimes comes from the age of 14. In addition to criminal punishment, the guilty person is obliged to compensate for material damage associated with the departure of emergency services (Article 1073, 1074 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).
