Una pareja de jóvenes rusos que maneja un negocio de criptomonedas fue secuestrada y luego liberada en el barrio porteño de Palermo tras el pago de un rescate de 43 mil dólares en moneda digital.
|
|
|
|
El hecho ocurrió el viernes por la noche en un edificio de la calle Ravignani 1596, en la intersección con Gorriti. Según indicaron fuentes de la investigación a TN, la pareja había sido invitada a cenar por dos chechenos que ocupaban un departamento del primer piso.

|
|
|
|
Cerca de las 23, la víctima mujer, de 30 años, comenzó a pedir auxilio en inglés por el balcón. Así llamó la atención de los empleados del restaurante lindero, que inmediatamente se comunicaron con el 911.
|
|
|
|
Cuando un móvil de la Policía de la Ciudad llegó al lugar, se encontró con la mujer y su pareja, un joven de 27 años, que habían sido maniatados.
|
|
|
|
Allí las víctimas relataron lo sucedido y acusaron a los dos chechenos que habían alquilado ese departamento durante las dos noches anteriores.
|
|
|
|
Tras identificar a los principales sospechosos, la Policía Federal Argentina (PFA) constató que ambos escaparon del país en avión durante las horas posteriores al hecho: habrían tomado un vuelo que partió desde Ezeiza rumbo a los Emiratos Árabes. Ambos ya tienen una alerta roja de Interpol.
