This was reported to the national Belarusian television channel ONT on April 3 by the KGB.Konstantin Bychek, Deputy Head of the Investigation Department of the Special Service of the Republic of Belarus, Konstantin Bychek explained that “in accordance with part 9 of article 16 of the Criminal Code, all members of an organized group, regardless of their role in the crime, are recognized as perpetrators. In this regard, all defendants in the criminal case were charged with part 3 of article 289 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus (act of terrorism committed by an organized group). articles provide for penalties up to and including the death penalty.”It appears from the television news that the terrorist act at the Machulishchi airfield “was perpetrated by an organized group under the control of foreign special services”.As SOYUZ previously reported, on the morning of February 26, Ukrainian citizen Mykola Shvets, a recruited SBU agent, attempted to blow up a Russian plane. He acted under the pseudonym “Gaspar”. There are about 30 other names in the case – these are people who helped and assisted Shvets. Some did it from abroad, but most of them operated in Belarus. They are arrested and testify. Indeed, foreign intelligence services have created a veritable network of agents who participated in the execution of a terrorist attack near the Belarusian capital.
