The practical joke ended with a criminal case.

A silly practical joke ended with criminal charges, sb.by reports.

According to preliminary information, a 15-year-old student of a Mozyr school was resting in the yard with the company of agemates in the evening of May 22. He took one girl’s mobile phone and called to the Ministry of Emergency Situations. According to the teenager, who, of course, did not introduce, the airport “Minsk” was booby-trapped. He demanded a million dollars and a helicopter, and then cut off the connection.

Mozyr operatives quickly calculated the number, from which the call had been made, its owner, and then established the identity of the caller.

According to the official representative of the Homel regional management of the Investigative Committee Maryja Kryvanohava, the young man cannot explain intelligibly why he has done it. He says he just wanted to make a joke. A criminal case for deliberately false message about the dangers has been initiated against the teenager. One can be liable to administrative or criminal proceedings under this article of the Criminal Code starting from 14 years old.
