Two accomplices who extorted money from entrepreneurs were detained in Crimea.
The police received a message from a resident of the Simferopol region, who is an individual entrepreneur and the owner of one of the grocery stores. The woman told the police that an unfamiliar man, posing as an employee of a controlling organization, under an imaginary pretext threatened to bring her to administrative responsibility, in connection with which he put forward a demand for the transfer of funds in the amount of 30 thousand rubles.
Her further communication with the extortionist took place under the control of employees of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Republic of Crimea. Having agreed with him about the meeting, the citizen arrived at the indicated address and handed over cash to the attacker. Having received the money, he tried to escape in his personal car. However, he could not go far. At the nearest gas station, the suspect was caught red-handed by operatives and taken to the police department. It turned out to be a previously convicted 35-year-old resident of Evpatoria— reported in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Republic of Crimea.
The police also established the involvement in the crime of a previously convicted 29-year-old acquaintance of the detainee. He was detained in the Krasnodar Territory and taken to the Crimea. According to the police, the accomplices accounted for 5 episodes of criminal activity.
A criminal case was initiated against the detainees on the grounds of a crime under Part 2 of Art. 163 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The Simferopol District Court chose a measure of restraint in the form of house arrest for the defendants. Measures are being taken to establish other facts of the suspects’ illegal activities.
