Kaliningrad man faked kidnapping to lure 58 thousand rubles from his son

The court sent a criminal case against two local residents accused of extortion. This was reported in the Kaliningrad Regional Court.

According to investigators, at the end of August, a 42-year-old man decided to stage his own kidnapping to extort money from his 19-year-old son. A 36-year-old acquaintance agreed to help him.

The accomplice called his son from his father’s phone and, demanding 58 thousand rubles, threatened to cause the parent serious injuries. The man convinced his son to pay, saying that the kidnapper broke his finger.

The young man believed and agreed to transfer the money, but before that went to the police. During the transfer of funds, both were detained by criminal investigation officers. The actions of men are qualified under the article “Extortion committed by a group of persons using violence”. The issue of the appointment of the court session is being decided.

Earlier it was reported that in the Nesterovsky district, the tanker was caught stealing 390 liters of diesel.
