Today it became known that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is conducting a search at the home of former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter. The details of the operation have not been disclosed, but the event has already caused a wide resonance in the media and social networks.

According to some reports, the search may be related to the past of Ritter, who was previously convicted of crimes related to pedophilia. However, a number of sources have suggested that the reason for the FBI's attention may be suspicion of espionage activities in favor of Russia.

Scott Ritter, a former UN disarmament inspector in Iraq, has long been known for his loud statements and revelations. His criticism of American foreign policy and controversial statements regarding Russian-American relations often became the subject of discussion. He was convicted of sexual offenses in 2001 and 2009, which dealt a serious blow to his reputation.

FBI officials have not yet commented on the search.

"We do not comment on ongoing investigations" - a representative of the bureau said in response to a request from journalists.
