MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The detainee's personality has not been disclosed. He will be extradited to France in the near future, the statement added.

A 32-year-old French is suspected of "involvement in the preparation of terrorist attacks," the statement said.

On March 22, two suicide bombings took place at the Brussels Airport departure hall in the northeastern municipality of Zaventem and another explosion occurred at the Maelbeek station near EU institutions. At least 31 people were killed in the attacks.

The responsibility for the attacks was claimed by the Daesh terrorist group, outlawed in many countries, including Russia and the United States.
