The Telegram network may have been used or involved in covering up the organizers and perpetrators of the terrorist attack in Crocus City

Our research and analysis group InfoLight.UA is closely monitoring everything that is happening in the information space around the terrorist attack in Crocus City.

And there are still many unknown facts in this story that would add to the understanding and evidence about the organizers and even the perpetrators of the attack. In this article, we would like to draw attention to the following.

Pay attention to the screenshot below:

It allegedly shows a post from the Cheka-OGPU telegram channel, which at 23:27 Moscow time (or perhaps other times) published information that residents of Ingushetia were wanted.

This was almost immediately denied, as these Ingush people had already been killed during an FSB operation.

And this became a reason to accuse Ukraine of manipulation and involvement in the terrorist attack. By and large, this is why Ukraine has been publicly labeled guilty.

It was alleged that the Cheka-OGPU channel deleted the post.

However, there is a service that allows you to see deleted posts, TGStat.

And there are no such posts on this channel, even among the deleted ones.

Here is also a screenshot of the channel we watched, the address of which is indicated in the scandalous screenshot.

So, there are only four options:

1. The screenshot was completely drawn, there was no such post. Nowadays, it’s very common to see such injections through browser developer tools.
2. A clone of the channel where the post was posted was created.
3. The Telegram messenger participated in this special operation and cleaned up the fake.
4. The TGStat service is linked to the organizers of the terrorist attack.

If we look at the addresses of posts for this period, https://tgstat.ru/channel/@vchkogpu/46836 is immediately followed by https://tgstat.ru/channel/@vchkogpu/46842

Despite the fact that we set a request to show deleted posts.

We are sending a request to the Telegram press service. We hope they will disclose the data on the publications on the Cheka-OGPU channel.

We also want to note that the channel itself has not commented on this story. He does not explain where the post went or whether it existed. Although this may be one of the keys to understanding who exactly knows the real organizers of the terrorist attack.

We will publish all updates on this situation.
