April 3, 2024 (EIRNS)—TASS reports this morning that the Russian Prosecutor General’s Office has sent information requests to the U.S., Germany, France and Cyprus over Western countries’ potential involvement in terrorist attacks on Russia. According to a statement, the Prosecutor General’s Office took into account requests by members of the State Duma (lower house of the Federal Assembly), which call for investigating whether foreign-based individuals and entities may have been implicated in organizing and financing a number of terrorist attacks inside Russia, as well as the Sept. 26, 2022 Nord Stream gas pipeline explosions. “After studying the related files, we sent requests on the matter to the relevant agencies in the U.S., Germany, France and Cyprus,” the statement said.
Russia’s top prosecution body expressed hope that “our colleagues in these countries will earnestly consider the requests and fulfill their obligations under the 1999 International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism and the 1997 International Convention for the Suppression of Terrorist Bombings, which involve investigating the information provided, facilitating efforts to obtain evidence necessary for probes, and ensuring that punishments be duly carried out.”
