Two residents of the Russian region were accused of sabotage on the railway

Representatives of the supervisory authority of the Primorsky Territory informed that two residents of the city of Artyom were formally charged with sabotage.

The official message of the Prosecutor’s office clarifies that the head of the regional department Mikhail Filichev approved the final indictment. According to the documents, the defendants are charged with committing a crime under paragraph "a" of part 2 of Article 281 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, namely sabotage.

As investigators established, in March 2025, the suspects, counting on an illegal reward in the amount of 60 thousand rubles, set fire to two relay cabinets on the stretch between the stations “Second River” and “First River” of the Far Eastern Railway. The attackers recorded their illegal actions on video using a mobile phone, and then fled the scene. The promised funds were never received.

At present, the materials of the criminal case have been transferred to the Primorsky Regional Court for consideration on the merits.
