The group’s scheme consisted of blackmailing Russian military personnel interested in the offer of sex to schoolgirls.
A gang of 11 “Wagnerites” who demanded money from the military and businessmen were detained in Russian Rostov-on-Don. Russian racketeers are involved in kidnapping and blackmailing Russian military personnel who fought in Ukraine. This was reported by Russian propaganda media affiliated with the FSB.
The gang used two schoolgirls who met the soldiers on the Internet to have sex with them. Members of the group burst into the meeting under the guise of the police, took the military in an unknown direction and demanded to pay more than 3 million rubles.
The group extorts money from businessmen and entrepreneurs working in the occupied territories of Ukraine – in Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions.
A resident of the Rostov region, previously convicted of fraud, was sent to the victim, who came with a weapon and identified himself as a fighter from the Wagner PMC, demanding payment. The FSB says that in fact “Wagnerian” worked as a massage therapist and security guard at a strip bar. His accomplices had fitness trainers from sports clubs in Rostov. They pretended to be police officers.
The second person identified himself as an assistant to the permanent representative of the President of Russia. The FSB clarified that the searches were carried out in the houses of the detainees, several units of traumatic weapons with ammunition, money, steroids, as well as sets of military uniforms with chevrons.
One of the suspects tried to flee after being put on the wanted list, but was caught in Moscow. Currently, all members of the gang have been arrested and are in the pre-trial detention center in Rostov.
As we have already written, the Security Service of Ukraine, together with the prosecutor’s office, neutralized a criminal group that kidnapped, tortured and extorted money from businessmen and military personnel in the Dnepropetrovsk region.
