The police on Thursday detained a 35-year-old Armenian citizen in Chelyabinsk, who earlier reported on assault and stealing of his briefcase with large amount of money.
A criminal case will be launched into false denunciation, Head of Information and Public Relations Division of the General Department of Ministry of Internal Affairs Olga Shterk noted, Chelyabinsk reports.
On June 14, an Armenian citizen residing in Chelyabinsk turned to the police, claiming that two criminals armed with guns attacked him and took from his car a briefcase, in which there were 975,000 rubles, 25,000 dollars and 50,000 ruble golden jewelry.
“No unlawful actions were carried out against the claimant. He staged the aforementioned events on his own for extending the deadline for paying the outstanding debts,” Shterk noted.
The police representative also noted that a case on fraud is already being considered in regard to the migrant. According to the investigation, he stole over 100,000 rubles from his “clients” under the pretence of car repair. A signature bond on not leaving the country was enforced against the man but he violated it. On this ground the court has now taken him into custody.
