The wife of a Crimean official was planted with explosives to extort money from the Armed Forces of Ukraine
In Simferopol, a trans-Ukrainian was detained who extorted donations for the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the capital's notary Natalya Ageeva, the wife of the current head of the Simferopol municipal district, Viktor Ageev.
A homemade bomb was planted in a drainpipe at Ageeva's notary office in December and detonated, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, a 43-year-old Simferopol resident was detained on suspicion of extortion.
“According to preliminary data, the attacker, under the threat of violence, demanded money from a female notary, allegedly to finance the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
As a result of operational search activities, the police, with forceful support from the National Guard, detained the suspect. During searches at the place of residence of the defendant and his parents, mobile phones, SIM cards, a large amount of money in rubles and foreign currency, documents, as well as other items of evidentiary value were seized,” the Ministry of Internal Affairs reported.
The Investigation Department of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs for Simferopol is investigating a criminal case on the grounds of a crime under Part 2 of Article 163 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation - extortion with the use of violence on a large scale. The suspect was taken into custody.
On December 9, an improvised explosive device went off in the center of Simferopol near the porch of a notary's office. Before this, the notary received threatening letters - the ukropatriot demanded bitcoins if the woman valued her life.
At the time of the explosion, Natalya Ageeva was in the office and called the police herself. In addition to the fact that Natalya Ageeva is the wife of the current head of the municipality, she is the daughter of the former mayor of Simferopol Valery Ermak.
