By arresting a close friend of a digital currency activist and two undercover men, the capital police uncovered a conspiracy in which they were supposed to kidnap him and gain access to his electronic wallet and cryptocurrency.
to report Criminal siteAt first, the plaintiff ran away from the armed attack in front of the parking lot of his house, but the next day two agents bound him and his friend’s hands and feet and robbed his friend’s house and his property.
A young man who works in a company and also works in the field of digital currency, filed a complaint with the Tehran Intelligence Police. He said that a few days ago, on the morning of the incident, when he wanted to get into his Benz car and go from home to the company, he encountered two armed men in the parking lot.
Explaining the story, the plaintiff said: “When I left the parking lot, two people who were passengers in a car blocked my way with their car. Both of them got out and wanted to take me out of the car with the threat of a gun. Anyway, I took reverse gear; “I even crashed into some other cars while reversing, but I managed to escape from the hands of those two armed men.”
The man continued: “After I ran away, I called my best friend and told him what happened. I said I was going to call the police and I just wanted him to know that if anything else happened, to tell the police that they were trying to silence me. But my friend said don’t call the police for now; Because those two armed people have half-finished their plan and will definitely come to you again. It is better to collect all the money, dollars, gold and valuables you have and stay at home. Come to me so that you will not be alone and take your property so that thieves do not break into your house.”
The plaintiff said that he followed his friend’s suggestion and put some currency, dollars and two kilos of gold in a bag and went to his close friend’s house to stay there for the night.
He then explained: “I had put all the belongings in a bag in the corner of my friend’s house. The next morning, the doorbell rang at my friend’s unit. When he opened the door, there were two men in front of the door; One is about 35 years old and the other is about 50 years old and has a beard. They told the lobby of the building that they are agents to fight economic crimes. The lobby had also called my friend’s unit and we were waiting for them. When they came up, they also told us that they are agents of economic crimes and that they should conduct an investigation to deal with embezzlement. But as soon as we entered, they suddenly pointed the gun at me and my friend and tied both of our hands and feet. Then, in addition to the belongings of my friend’s house, they also stole my bag.”
With the filing of this complaint, a group of officers of the 1st Intelligence Police Department started the investigation. In reviewing the CCTV footage, the officers came across a mysterious point: when the two male officers entered the lobby and introduced themselves as police officers, they did not ask which floor and which unit the complainant’s friend’s house was on. This behavior aroused the suspicion of the detectives.
On the other hand, there was also the question of why the complainant’s close friend told him not to go to the police and complain, and why he invited him to his house; Also, exactly the day after that, his house was robbed. The collection of these evidences led the officers to arrest the complainant’s close friend with judicial coordination.
The complainant’s friend confessed during the interrogations and said that the armed men are his relatives and his friend; The same ones who kidnapped the son of a football club owner in the north of the country last year for extortion. According to the defendant, those two people had come to him for extortion and he suggested that they stop and go to his friend instead.
With the confession of this accused, the officers identified and arrested the two men. Those two people also confessed to their crimes after being arrested.
The investigation also showed that the complainant’s friend planned to frame his accomplices as well. In his confession, he said that when his friend came to his house with a bag, without realizing it, he had left two bottles of water instead of two kilos of gold to take the gold for himself. Later, when the two accomplices of the agent took his friend’s bag, they gave him 16 bundles of dollars. The accused said that he was in good condition, but his friend’s condition was much better; That’s why when those two people came to him, he gave them this offer.
According to further investigations, the aim of the failed kidnapping plan was to kidnap the complainant, gain access to his phone, electronic wallet and cryptocurrency and transfer his digital currency. But the plaintiff’s electronic wallet was not on his phone; For this reason, the second time they broke into his friend’s house and took the phone, they failed to transfer the digital currency.
Currently, with the arrest of two agents and a close friend of the complainant, the investigation of this case is still ongoing.
