A 40-year-old passenger who threatened to hijack a plane at Volgograd Airport could face up to 8 years in prison. The investigative committee opened a case against the man for deliberately falsely reporting an attack.
Earlier Irina Volk reported that in Volgograd a drunk passenger threatened to hijack a plane that was supposed to fly to Moscow. He was arrested and handed over to the police.
The turbulent guy turned out to be a resident of the Moscow region. He refused to undergo a medical examination.
Dogs also checked the plane. Experts found no dangerous objects.
