Kremlin says not informed of Russian’s arrest over suspected Olympics plot

The Kremlin’s spokesman on Friday said Moscow had not been informed of the arrest in France of a Russian man over a suspected “destabilisation” plot targeting the Paris Olympics.

The man was detained Tuesday in Paris but Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists: “We have no information. We saw media reports… Our embassy in Paris should have been informed of the detention. We hope the information will be provided to them.”
