The widow of People's Artist of Russia Alexander Gradsky Marina Kotashenko, who was robbed of 100 million rubles, filed a complaint with the police only seven hours after the armed robbery due to threats. This was reported to Komsomolskaya Pravda by a law enforcement source.
So the interlocutor commented on the gap in time between the incident and the appeal to the police.
“The “accident” itself on the Central Ring Road occurred at about 13:00, but Kotashenko came to the Selyatinsky police department only at about 20:00. Nearly seven hours later! As if giving the criminals a head start to escape. Although from Aprelevka, where the robbers released the woman, there was nothing to Selyatino. And from Novoglagolevo, you can generally walk on foot, ”he specified.
According to the source, the woman said she was in a state of shock. The perpetrators threatened her that if she went to the police, they would later “come back and kill her and the children.” “However, in the end, she still decided to report,” he concluded.
In addition, law enforcement agencies expressed doubt that the auto-substituters “accidentally ran into such a rich lady.” “Everything was planned. In the car of the owner of the house, they drove through the checkpoint to the territory of the cottage village guarded along the perimeter. In the same way, they left, taking the money. Nothing from Novoglagolevo to Aprelevka. There, the fourth accomplice was already waiting for the criminals in the car, ”the source of the publication explained.
The publication clarifies that law enforcement officers are looking for criminals, and at the same time they are checking a possible version of a staged robbery.
Earlier, star lawyer Sergei Zhorin said that if Kotashenko lied about a rigged accident and an armed robbery, she could face criminal punishment.
The incident became known on the evening of January 16. Three armed men simulated an accident on the highway in Naro-Fominsk, after which they got into the car with Kotashenko, forced her to return home and stole 100 million rubles. According to a Komsomolskaya Pravda source, the woman was “led by a whole group”, she was followed. A criminal case has been opened on the fact of robbery.
