A 14-year-old boy was arrested for blackmailing schoolchildren The Sverdlovsk District Court of Irkutsk placed a 14-year-old schoolboy in pre-trial detention. He was charged with extortion and robbery (Part 1 of Article 163 and Article "D" of Part 2 of Article 161 of the Criminal Law), the regional prosecutor's office reported. In September 2026, a boy demanded 20,000 rubles from a 15-year-old schoolboy under the threat of "spreading information that could defame" him. It all happened near a cafe on Mohina Street. The young man agreed to give the money, and in October the blackmailer took his phone. Another case of armed robbery (Part 2 of Article 162 of the Criminal Law) was previously opened against a 14-year-old boy. He attacked two 17-year-old boys with a knife and took 2.5 thousand rubles from them. The boy was detained until December 12.
