In Yekaterinburg, a gang kidnapped men, sent them to the SVO and took military payments.
According to investigators, the criminals lured Russians in need of money with free housing, then forced them to sign contracts with the Ministry of Defense. In order to adjust payments and compensations, powers of attorney, additional bank cards and even fictitious marriages were issued.
Seven members of the organized crime organization are accused of 12 counts of kidnapping and extortion.
