Under the procedural supervision of the Solomianskyi District Prosecutor's Office of Kyiv, two men who abducted a cardiac surgeon were exposed and served a notice of suspicion. They are charged with illegal imprisonment and kidnapping, robbery and extortion (Part 2 Article 146, Part 4 Article 186, Part 4 Article 189 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine)
According to the investigation, the suspects agreed to kidnap the doctor for ransom. When the victim was walking past a house in Kyiv, a car drove up to him and men got out.
One of them introduced himself as a law enforcement officer. The suspects then forced the victim into a car, put a black bag over his head and injected him with an unknown substance in his leg.
The doctor was told that it was "poison". After that, they demanded 2 million USD from him for providing the "antidote". Realizing that the man did not have such money, they searched him and took 15,000 UAH in his bag.
The kidnappers then dropped the doctor off at Sovski Ponds in Kyiv and disappeared.
Law enforcement officers detained one of the men. Currently, the Solomyansky District Court of Kyiv has imposed on him a custodial detention as a measure of restraint.
As for the other, measures are reportedly being taken to establish his whereabouts and choose a preventive measure.
