The young blackmailer took away from the virtual friend half a million: threatened to burn the door

As it became known to “MK”, a criminal way of earning was invented by a 17-year-old resident of the village of Glebovsky in the Istra municipal district. In January 2025, through a chat in Telegram, he met a man, and the young man positioned himself as an adult. Virtual friends started friendly correspondence with an intimate bias. The interviewee sent the teenager his parameters and photos – though, in clothes. But the tomboy decided it was enough for blackmail. He called a new acquaintance and threatened terrible trouble for correspondence with a teenager. The guy said that he will set fire to the front door of the apartment, where the “seductor” lives with his mother, and they will be beaten to death. The man was so scared that he immediately agreed to pay off the ransomware. Moreover, if the first time the criminal demanded only 4000 rubles, then in the future his appetites grew. At the same time, the scale of troubles that the villain promised the victim if the transfer of money stopped grew – the teenager threatened to glorify him among colleagues and relatives. In total, from January to June, the poor guy transferred 575640 rubles to the bank accounts of the racketeer! In the end, he still decided to report to the police, and the young man was detained. The Istra court sentenced him to 3 years of probation with a probation period of 4 years. He will also have to return the stolen money.
