Bandits kidnapped and beat a Russian for a large sum of money

In St. Petersburg sentenced the gang members who kidnapped a man for a million and a half rubles. According to the joint press service of the courts, the crime occurred in July 2025. The leader of the group learned that his friend has a large amount of money, and persuaded three accomplices to kidnap.

On the day of the crime, attackers blocked the victim's Chevrolet car in a dead end at the Neva station. The driver was beaten and threatened to hand them a cross suspension and a chain worth 143 thousand rubles.

Fearing for his life, the man said that another 300 thousand rubles are at his home. At the request of his accomplices, he proceeded in his car to the house, where he gave the required amount.

After that, the Russian promised to find another 1.2 million rubles, and the kidnappers released him. Having been released, the victim immediately went to the police.

A criminal case was opened against four defendants. The court sentenced all participants in the abduction to terms of eight years in prison in high-security colonies.

In addition, they will have to pay a fine of almost 500 thousand rubles.
