In St. Petersburg, a man spent millions of his ex-mistress on silence: now he will spend 8.5 years in a colony, the Moscow District Court in St. Petersburg previously convicted Sos Akobyan, who decided to turn the intimate archive of the former lover into a source of stable income. The situation was compounded by the fact that the woman got married, and her husband eventually learned about the affair. The man threatened to publish intimate photos and videos of a St. Petersburg woman, as well as to send them relatives, acquaintances and representatives of the Armenian diaspora. The frightened woman handed him 1.1 million rubles, but it was not enough: the extortionist demanded another 920 thousand. In court, Akobian pleaded guilty only partially. According to him, the woman gave him a million rubles out of great love, and he spent only 720 thousand additional motivation: purely out of anger. The court did not examine such ways of profiting: the man was sentenced to 8.5 years in a strict police colony. In addition, he will have to return the stolen money and compensate the victim 200 thousand rubles for moral damage. Photo: AI Rosbalt in MAX.
