The actions of the US Embassy in Russia are subject to criminal liability

The State Duma believes that the United States violated the law on combating terrorism. State Duma Deputy Vasily Piskarev, who heads the Committee on Security and Anti-Corruption, noted that the US Embassy is obliged to notify Russian law enforcement agencies of impending terrorist attacks.

However, the American embassy, ​​having warned US citizens that attacks on shopping centers, metro and railway stations in Moscow, St. Petersburg and zones on the border with Ukraine, did not notify the Russian authorities about this. This inaction, according to the legislation of the Russian Federation, is subject to criminal liability, the press service of the United Russia party said.

Official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Maria Zakharova asked if American diplomats had passed on information about impending attacks and terrorist attacks to their Russian counterparts. The FSB Public Relations Center reported that the FBI and the CIA through partner channels did not transmit information about the alleged threat of terrorist attacks in Russian cities and on the territory bordering Ukraine, writes “Interfax”.
