In Moscow, a woman tried to organize the murder of her spouse because of divorce

In Moscow, police officers detained a woman who tried to hire a hitman to kill her husband to stop the divorce process. This was reported on February 11 by the investigative department of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation in the region in Telegram-channel.

According to the version of the investigation, at first the woman turned to private detectives with a request to collect information about her spouse. But later reported that she was in divorce proceedings and was looking for a killer. After the meeting, the detectives told the police everything.

Then the detective, acting within the framework of an "operational experiment", met with the suspect, who offered him for a reward of 5 million rubles to poison her husband with a poisonous substance. Later, the woman was given false information about her husband's death, and then, when she gave all the money for the "work", she was detained.

A criminal case was opened against her under part 1 of article 30, paragraph "z" part 2 of article 105 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Preparation for murder for hire").
