Another way to involve Russians in committing arsons, the FSB calls calls from «security services», «employees of the Investigative Committee, the Ministry of Internal Affairs or the FSB.» In particular, people are being persuaded to transfer money to “safe accounts” and to commit arson, security officials believe.

However, having achieved the desired result, they cut off contacts,” the FSB added.
