19-Year-Old Fined for Overlooking Friend's Terror Plot in Vytegra
Minor, penalized for failing to disclose incident of suspected terrorism in Vologda region
A 19-year-old resident of Vytegra, Vologda region, landed in hot water after failing to nip a terror plot in the bud. According to court records, the boy knowingly withheld information about his friend's criminal activities — preparing a terrorist act and actively participating in a terrorist organization.
Back in 2024, between January and March, this young bloke kept quiet while his shady buddy groomed a terror act. But his days of silence came to an end when authorities caught wind of the scheme and swiftly intervened, thanks to the regional FSB and MVD.
The defiant teenager was slapped with a hefty sentence of 8 years in a general-security penal colony for his negligence. However, it seems his chum's plans didn't get as far as they could have, thanks to the swift action of our brave law enforcement officers.
As the investigation unfolded, the kid spilled the beans about his confederates who also knew about the sinister scheme but choose to remain silent. One of them is already in hot water, having been fined 30,000 rubles for the same offense. Another close buddy, owing to their tight bond, also opted to remain mum. In court, he confessed to his wrongdoing, paying a price for his inaction with a 30,000-ruble fine.
The verdict has yet to be officially upheld, leaving room for further appeals by the parties concerned.
Before this, news broke out about a suspected terror plot mastermind's arrest in Tatarstan.
Social media is buzzing with comments about the negligence of these teenagers in reporting their friend's despicable plans. Though, as of now, there's no confirmed report on a foiled terror attack in the Vologda region or any similar cases based on the latest search results, dated June 2025.
