According to TASS, police officers detained Tajik citizen Umedjon Jabborov on suspicion of armed robbery against the widow of Alexander Gradsky, Marina Kotashenko, in the Moscow region.

According to the investigation, Marina Kotashenko contacted the police on the evening of January 16. She reported that unknown assailants provoked a traffic accident with the vehicle she was in. Then three unknown individuals approached her and, threatening her with a weapon, forced her to return home, where they took 100 million rubles.

The police opened a criminal case under Article 162 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (armed robbery), and an investigation is underway.

As reported in the materials of the detained individual’s case, Jabborov had previously been sentenced to one year in a penal colony for bribery.

“In the spring of 2017, Jabborov worked as a salesman in a store called ‘Products’ on Kulakova Street. During a test purchase, he was held administratively liable for selling alcoholic beverages at night. He offered 15,000 rubles to a police officer to avoid being held accountable for this. The court found him guilty of attempting to bribe and sentenced him to one year in a general regime colony,” the materials state.
