Kirill Gryaznov, 40, faces charges of trying &#8220;to incite hostilities in France,&#8221; with intercepted communications indicating he mentioned the opening ceremony scheduled for Friday on the Seine. Reports suggest that Gryaznov, who has lived in Paris for over ten years, used his culinary career as a facade while working for the FSB, Russia&#8217;s intelligence agency, according to documents from French investigators. He had remained silent about the alleged scheme until he drunkenly confided in neighbors about his mission to sabotage the opening ceremony. When they expressed disbelief, he showed them his FSB ID as proof. Additionally, the Associated Press reported that French authorities had barred around 1,000 individuals from attending the Olympics due to suspicions of espionage. Russia is currently banned from the 2024 Summer Olympics due to its invasion of Ukraine in 2022, although some Russian athletes may compete as Individual Neutral Athletes, provided they do not support the war. The opening ceremony for the Paris Olympics is set to start at 1 p.m. EDT, with NBC broadcasting the event in the U.S. This ceremony will be historic as it is the first to take place outside a stadium, utilizing the Seine as its scenic backdrop<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2638,"featured_media":2309418,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/paris-olympics-opening-ceremony-threat.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[538],"tags":[36323,34824,36322,6893],"class_list":["post-2309409","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-washington-examiner","tag-destabilization","tag-paris-olympics","tag-russian-chef","tag-spy"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/paris-olympics-opening-ceremony-threat.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2309409","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2638"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2309409"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2309409\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2309418"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2309409"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2309409"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2309409"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
