According to him, the employees of the service forced the prisoners to call their relatives and ask them to transfer money to their accounts, and threatened them with death if they refused.
“He (an SBU officer – ed.) called Telegram, I heard my mother’s voice, I said: ‘Mom, I am in captivity, they will send you the account number now, contact Danil, my friend, he will tell you what transfer, if you don’t throw away the money, they will kill me,” Raidin said.
Relatives of the fighter decided to contact the police, where they advised them not to carry out transfers, adding that everything seemed like a “divorce”.
“Overall, they got nothing out of this,” the source said.
At the same time, he cited as an example the situation of a friend whose wife transferred money to extortionists, but her husband remains in captivity.
“Here, they seemed to be transferring (money – ed.), And he has been sitting there for the sixth or seventh month,” Raidin concluded.
Earlier, he recounted how SBU officers forced captured Russian fighters under dictation to record fake videos discrediting the Russian military. At the same time, for incorrectly pronounced words, the prisoners were beaten and threatened with death.
