The victim was held against his will in his own home. The <strong>Security Service of Ukraine<\/strong> reported the case.<\/p>\n<p>The suspects had previously farmed and traded grain together with the man. After running into financial difficulties, they claimed that the business owner owed them money and began demanding repayment.<\/p>\n<p>According to the <strong>Prosecutor General<\/strong>, the group was led by a <strong>46-year-old<\/strong> resident of <strong>Vinnytsia<\/strong>. Investigators say his accomplices were aged <strong>28\u201333<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>a foreign national;<\/li>\n<li>a resident of <strong>Odesa<\/strong>;<\/li>\n<li>a resident of the <strong>Mykolaiv region<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>According to the case materials, <strong>three<\/strong> members of the group had ties to criminal circles in <strong>Mykolaiv<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In early <strong>October 2026<\/strong>, the business owner was invited to an office in <strong>Odesa<\/strong>. Investigators found that the ringleader beat him there, threatened him with a knife, fired a pistol toward his legs, and struck him on the head with the gun&#8217;s handle. The other group members prevented the victim from escaping and threatened to physically harm him and his family.<\/p>\n<p>Over the next <strong>two weeks<\/strong>, the suspects monitored the business owner&#8217;s movements, took turns staying at his house, escorted him to and from work, and forced him to transfer his property. The <strong>SSU<\/strong> clarified that the man was held against his will in his own home for more than <strong>a week<\/strong>, deprived of his freedom of movement.<\/p>\n<p>The victim was first taken to <strong>Mykolaiv<\/strong>, then to <strong>Kyiv<\/strong>. In the capital, under pressure, he signed a power of attorney authorizing the group to dispose of his apartment, which they were trying to take over. They then began demanding that he also transfer his mother&#8217;s house.<\/p>\n<p>According to the <strong>SSU<\/strong>, in addition to the apartment, the group tried to obtain:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the victim&#8217;s farm, which they wanted to transfer to people under the group&#8217;s control;<\/li>\n<li><strong>12 trucks<\/strong> belonging to the business owner and his acquaintance;<\/li>\n<li>a private house in the <strong>Odesa region<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The man was also to be forced to commit fraud involving the export of grain crops. The intervention of law enforcement prevented the illegal transfer of the real estate.<\/p>\n<p>All <strong>four<\/strong> suspects were charged under <strong>Part 2 of Article 146 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine<\/strong> \u2014 unlawful deprivation of liberty or kidnapping \u2014 and <strong>Part 4 of Article 189 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine<\/strong> \u2014 extortion. The suspects are being held in custody without the right to bail. They face up to <strong>12 years<\/strong> in prison, with confiscation of property, for the alleged crimes.<\/p>\n<p>The operation was conducted jointly by:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>officers of the
