Russian government directed chef to commit 'destabilization' acts at Olympics

It would appear as though Russia's government instructed lawyer-turned-chef Kirill Griaznov to commit "large-scale" acts of "destabilization" at the opening of the Olympic games in France.

There's at least one reason why that plan was thwarted before Griaznov was able to accomplish his mission:

Griaznov drunkenly spilled the beans during a dinner conversation about his extensive ties to FSB and GRU officers in Russia.

For those familiar with Russian pop culture, you might recognize Kirill Griaznov as a minor celebrity because of his status as a television chef.

Now, Griaznov is more famous for having dark connections to the Russian government and being a blabbering alcoholic.

It would seem as though Griaznov has a little bit of an issue with consuming too much to drink, and he couldn't stop his lips from moving after he'd had a few.

As a result of Griaznov's talking, European intelligence services had been monitoring him since May.

Back in May, Griaznov "was traveling from Istanbul, Turkey, back to Paris when he was barred from boarding his flight because he had too much to drink," according to the New York Post.

Griaznov was apparently put on another flight, but not before he demanded to stop and have a drunken phone conversation.

While loudly talking on the phone, Griaznov boasted that "the French are going to have an opening ceremony like no other."

This comment caught the attention of authorities, who started monitoring the minor television star.

It turns out their suspicions were well-founded, as communication between Griaznov and Russian government officials was quickly discovered.

Griaznov is just one of over 5,000 people who have been barred from attending the Olympics in France, a result of an extensive screening process that has already checked over 1,000,000 people attending the games.
