What happened in Košice
In Slovakia, a 35-year-old Ukrainian citizen named Alyona came to Košice with four friends to celebrate her birthday at Svetlana Loboda's concert at Steel Arena. At the entrance it turned out that the ticket given to the birthday girl was fake: her friends went in to the show, while the birthday girl was left outside. The incident is reported by the Telegram channel Mash, which Life.ru cites.
The threat and the arena check
According to Mash, the upset woman went to a bar, where she drank whiskey, then called the police and, in a mix of Ukrainian and Italian, threatened to blow up the singer along with her show. Emergency services were dispatched to the arena, but by the time they arrived the concert had already ended. Pyrotechnicians examined the venue, but no explosive devices or other dangerous objects were found.
Consequences for the caller
The caller was detained: for a false bomb threat she faced up to five years in prison. The woman admitted her guilt and expressed remorse, after which she was sent to Italy, where she has been living and working legally for about four and a half years. Mash also claims that she was banned from entering Slovakia for two years. There is no independent confirmation of these details in other sources — the information about the incident is cited from a single Telegram channel.
