A Turkish citizen was arrested by the police after he told the passenger registration agent, during the check-in for the Chisinau – Istanbul flight at the Chisinau International Airport, that he has two kilograms of explosives in his baggage. The man also tried to scare the passengers at the check-in desk, shouting that he has explosives on him, IPN reports.
It happened on June 28. The police isolated the 28-year-old man together with the baggage. It was shortly established that it was a hoax. The Turkish citizen is now held in the remand unit.
The man is investigated for intentional misinformation about an act of terrorism and faces up to two years in jail or fine.
