Olympics 2024 | Kremlin says arrest of Russian man ahead of Paris Games is 'curious'

Moscow: The Kremlin said on Friday it had read "curious information" about the arrest in France of a Russian national suspected of planning to sabotage the Olympic Games, but said Moscow needed more information from authorities in Paris.

French police on Wednesday arrested a 40-year-old Russian man who it said was involved in plots to destabilise the Olympics, which kick off in Paris on Friday.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia had no information about the case and that the Russian embassy in Paris needed to be informed properly about the circumstances.
