In the Kirovohrad region, the police exposed a gang of criminal authorities nicknamed “Rusky”, whose members systematically terrorized entrepreneurs and residents of Alexandria.
As reported by the Department of Strategic Investigations of the National Police and the Kirovohrad Regional Prosecutor’s Office, almost all members of the group have previously been in trouble with the law for serious crimes, including extortion and illegal deprivation of liberty.
The victims were forced to give money under the threat of physical violence, and in case of refusal, the perpetrators took away their vehicles and real estate.
According to the investigation, bandits regularly visited businessmen and residents of the city and demanded money allegedly owed to them. The amounts of “debts” ranged from $3,000 to $10,000, and refusal to pay the money was punishable by confiscation of property.
On January 13, DSR operatives in the Kirovohrad region together with the SBU and with the support of special police officers and the Alfa special unit detained the organizer of the gang and five of its members while receiving a $3,000 “debt”.
During the searches, law enforcement officers seized cars, cash, weapons, ammunition, telescopic and rubber batons, bags with a white substance, probably amphetamine, and other material evidence.
The leader of the group and five of its members were notified of suspicion under Part 4 of Art. 189 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (extortion). The detainees are in a temporary detention center and are waiting for preventive measures to be taken. Two more members of the gang are currently hiding from justice.
