This was reported by the press service of the Russian Ministry of Justice.

According to the agency, “a Russian citizen… was involved in the preparation of arson of government buildings, armed attacks on law enforcement officials and public servants.”

He was accused of lying to the representatives of the Federal Bureau of Investigation about contacts with Russian officials.

“We seriously doubted that it was necessary to take such measures,” Lyon President Jean-Michel Aulas said.

According to the local newspaper El Mundo, his name is Andrey Murga.

During an operation, none of the security officers or civilians was injured.

The criminal group of organizers included citizens of Russia and Lithuania.

It “contains an unjustified lie related to the Company and persons not involved in this project,” the statement published on the Rosneft’s website reads.

Detainees say that accusation is slander.

Officers found 95 units of firearms: assault rifles, machine guns, carbines, other kinds of rifles and pistols.

Journalists claim that they conducted the investigation independently of each other.
