(The Jerusalem Post) A former traffic police officer who has declared himself Jesus reincarnated has been arrested by Russian authorities in a special operation deep in Siberia.
Helicopters and armed officers were used to infiltrate the communities run by Sergei Torop, 59, who is more commonly known by his cult name “Vissarion.” He and two aides – Vladimir Vedernikov and Torop’s right-hand-man Vadim Redkin, a former drummer in a Soviet-era boy band – were arrested in the operation run by agents from Russia’s FSB security services, as well as police and other agencies. All three were led to waiting helicopters by masked police.
