“The cake was immediately taken out into the street”: details of the attempt to poison graduates of the Armavir Flight School
The Chairman of the Council of Veterans of the Armavir Higher Military Aviation School of Pilots, Viktor Fisun, confirmed to MK that on October 21, an attempt was made to mass poison the graduates who had gathered in a restaurant to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of graduation from the school. Fisun revealed new details of what happened.
Initially, the Telegram channel Fighterbomber reported about the attempt to poison flight school graduates at a banquet. The publication said that the restaurant was mainly attended by active pilots with serious ranks and positions.
At the height of the celebration, a courier arrived at the restaurant and brought a large, 20-kilogram cake and a box of bottles of whiskey. But when those gathered began calling classmates and colleagues to find out who had sent gifts and to thank them, it turned out that no one they knew had sent such a surprise.
One of the responsible officers, having received an image of the courier from external video surveillance cameras, sent the picture to familiar operatives. Hot on the trail, it was possible to establish the identity of the messenger. He turned out to be a native of the city of Melitopol.
By that time, the courier had already managed to buy a plane ticket to urgently fly out of the Krasnodar Territory. After his arrest, he admitted that a potent poison had been added to the cake. As well as several bottles of whiskey.
Many doubted the veracity of this story, but in vain.
“This incident really happened in one of the restaurants in Armavir,” says Viktor Fisun, chairman of the Council of Veterans of the Armavir Higher Military Aviation School of Pilots. — We have nothing to do with the organization of this banquet. The pilots gathered on their own, they had their own organizers, and they chose the restaurant themselves.
But something in the message of the channel, which is hosted by one of the pilots, is made up. The organizers of the event and the school graduates immediately showed vigilance, they were told: “Take the cake outside, do not put bottles on the tables.” There could very well be an explosive device there. So no one cut the cake in the restaurant. (In the photo the cake is cut, but this photo was probably taken by the operatives who had already cut it. - MK ).
As Viktor Nikolaevich says, that day the flight school graduates of 2003 gathered at the banquet.
— The school itself ceased to exist in 2002. When it was already legally disbanded, the graduates of 2003 were allowed to finish it in Armavir. The tradition of gathering with the entire class is a long-standing one. I graduated from this school in 1969, and we still gather with graduates in Armavir every five years. Although this school is long gone.
Our interlocutor knows nothing about the courier, 32-year-old Semyon, who tried to fly to Moscow.
“The investigation is underway, we will wait for the results.”
The investigation is now trying to establish who is behind this sabotage attempt. The search for confectioners is underway.
