The SBU neutralized a gang that was terrorizing residents of Kirovohrad and Odesa regions
Criminals threatened locals and demanded money, cars and real estate. In case of disagreement, they blackmailed and promised to kill loved ones. In Odesa region, the man was generally demanded to “rewrite” the apartment to one of the racketeers😵💫At the same time, the bandits beat and mocked the victims.
In addition, the criminals barged in with weapons and ammunition left over from the Russian occupiers. The SBU detained the organizer of the gang and three of its members “red handed” - the gang tried to sell a Kalashnikov assault rifle and a large-caliber machine gun for $5.5 thousand.
Perpetrators face up to 12 years in prison.
If they were wearing uniforms of a country you are at war with, they should be sent back to that country in the next prisonniers exchange. (Or shot on sight, but too late for that now)
No use wasting taxpayers money on that when there are bigger things happening.
