    fraud

    Sabotage. Property made unusable. Passengers were literally stranded in the middle of a journey.

      The story I read the trains were bricked in the maintenance yards. Do you have the source about passangers?

        This very article.

        And one batch of the 45WE EMU (electric multiple unit, the kind of train that doesn’t have a separate engine up front to pull the passenger cars), would switch off automatically when passing through the Mińsk Mazowiecki railway station. Trains full of passengers were left stranded.

      Yeah, this has a criminal component of endangering train traffic and putting hundreds of lives at risk.

      This is not merely fraud or property damage. This should be seen in the context of attempted homicide.
