Moscow Bar Arson Case Involving Moldovan Citizen Under Criminal Probe

Law enforcement authorities in Moscow opened a criminal case against a Moldovan citizen suspected of deliberately setting a bar on fire. This development was reported by the Telegram channel Basis, which has been closely covering the incident as it unfolded. The case marks a significant escalation in a sequence of troubling events that began inside the bar during a late afternoon visit when patrons and staff found themselves confronted with disruptive behavior from a lone individual. The bar staff acted to remove the disruptive customer after attempts to calm him down proved ineffective. The incident was not immediately publicized, but as new information came to light, authorities confirmed that actions had shifted from harassment to arson, prompting a formal investigation and the initiation of criminal proceedings. Basis has since provided ongoing updates that illuminate the timeline from initial disruption to the later criminal act and subsequent investigation.
