The investigative committee started an investigation after the Regnum news agency published about the seizure of the apartment of the wife of a wounded SVO soldier.
The family of SVO participant Yuri from the Khabarovsk Territory is trying to return an apartment worth about 5.5 million rubles. His wife Olga was forced, under threats of rape and murder, to transfer the property to a stranger.
It all started with a visit from a man who introduced himself as a broker. He stated that he bought half of the apartment given to Olga by her grandmother and demanded 1.5 million rubles.
Two months later, three men approached the woman when she was alone at home. According to her, they took the phone, threatened her with violence and insulted her husband, who was seriously wounded in the Northern Military District.
"Where is your husband, the unfinished sobushnik?! Now we will finish him."
- Olga relayed the words of one of the people.
The next day the woman was taken to finish the deal. She was promised 2.8 million rubles after the apartment was sold, but the family never received the money. The couple later discovered that the agreement was dated March, even though Olga only signed the documents in August.
"They even showed her a fictitious check for transferring money to her, but they didn't give her anything. Naturally, no money was received into the account."
- Yuri told IA Regnum.
Olga was afraid to tell her husband about what happened for almost two weeks. When the couple contacted the police, they were refused to open a criminal case. According to Yuri, the law enforcement officers did not even interview neighbors who could have seen the threats.
After the publication, she started an investigation. The family is also trying to get the apartment back through the courts. Yuri hopes to achieve not only the return of the housing, but also punishment for those who threatened his wife.
