Zakharova said that the incident took place in the spring of 2021 at the Ostashkov station. The moment hit the security cameras. The video shows a man, about 30 years old, removes the sign and puts it in the trunk of a car with diplomatic numbers.

“If the loss had not been found in time, a tragedy could have happened,” Zakharova said.

On the same day, the same car was stopped for a traffic violation. An embassy employee was at the wheel.
