Fifteen people have been charged over an alleged Russia-backed operation that planned arson attacks across Europe through courier services, Lithuanian prosecutors have said.
In a statement on Wednesday, Lithuania’s prosecutor general’s office in Vilnius said investigations had revealed that suspects with ties to the GRU, the Russian military intelligence service, had led the operations.
The suspects included citizens from Russia, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Ukraine.
The network is believed to have hidden home-made explosive devices, containing the highly flammable substance thermite, inside massage pillows and tubes of cosmetics.
Some of these incendiary devices exploded last year in the UK, Germany and Poland while being transported by the courier services DHL and DPD.
Four packages were posted on 19 July 2024 by a member of the network, prosecutors say.
