This was reported by Olga Postnova, a representative of the Main Investigation Department of the TFR in Crimea and Sevastopol.

"He was placed under house arrest until July 12," Interfax quotes her.

Earlier, the Investigative Committee opened a criminal case against a 25-year-old resident of Crimea, who posted a fake about the impending armed attack on a school in the village of Oktyabrskoye.

The suspect said that "in this way he decided to check the efficiency of the actions of the security forces."
