KRASNODAR, December 22. /TASS/. The attempted terrorist attack against graduates of the Higher Military Aviation School of Pilots in Armavir in Russia’s south was staged by an organized group that included still-unidentified people from Ukrainian governmental bodies, the press service of the Krasnodar Prosecutor’s Office said in a statement to TASS.

According to earlier reports, a suspect in the case was apprehended and put in custody. He was born in the Ukrainian city of Melitopol and is now facing charges of terrorism.

"Investigators established that Semyonov E. I., who acted as part of an organized group that included still-unidentified people serving for Ukrainian state-run bodies, purchased at least 200 bottles of the medical drug Cordiaminum in the form of a solution, 76 bottles labeled Jameson whiskey, 40 bottles labeled Kochari cognac, as well as a cake," the statement reads citing regional Prosecutor Sergey Tobolsky as saying.

"He [the detained suspect] later used a syringe to inject the drug into the purchased products and on October 20, he used a delivery service to bring the products to the Tsarskaya Okhota restaurant so that the graduates of the Armavir Higher Military Aviation School of Pilots would consume them and get poisoned," according to the statement.

The prosecutor’s press service added that the detained suspect, who has been an official resident of Russia since 2015, admitted partial guilt, claiming he never injected any sort of substances into the cake.
