Two people were kidnapped in Moscow to extort money

Two men were kidnapped in Moscow to extort a large sum of money. This was reported by a source of "Izvestiya" on January 13.

According to him, two citizens of Kyrgyzstan were in a cafe near the metro station "Kuzminki" waiting for an acquaintance. They were approached by two unknown men with a request to help push the car, to which the victims agreed and went outside.

There they saw a group of men who pushed them into the car, took their documents and phones and later brought them to a place in Khoroshevo-Mnevniki. The unknown men began to demand 190 thousand rubles, beat the men and threatened to kill them, the source specified.

When they were left alone with one of the kidnappers, who fell asleep, the men wrote a note asking for help and threw it out the window.

A police squad arrived at the apartment. Three citizens were detained, all of whom had no previous convictions.

Earlier, on December 3 last year, police officers in Novosibirsk detained a group of attackers on suspicion of kidnapping. Men in a car tracked down the victim, made sure that no one saw them, forcibly put him in the trunk and demanded 600 thousand rubles, and then took him away.

The kidnappers left in a rented car, which had a GPS-tracker, which helped law enforcement officers to find them. A criminal case under part 2 of article 126 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Kidnapping of a person") was opened against the suspects.
