In Sochi, a man wanted to take revenge on a debtor, but instead caused harm to another person.
Details were reported on the official Telegram channel of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for Krasnodar Krai.
The incident occurred in the Lazarevsky district late at night. Firefighters received a message about a burning cafe building on Sochi Highway.
When the fire was extinguished, experts determined that it was the result of arson. Traces of flammable liquid were found.
The police conducted an investigation and found a 34-year-old resident of Novorossiysk. He was detained in a rented apartment in Sochi.
