Law enforcement officers detained a 31-year-old resident of the city of Isfara on suspicion of extorting money from a young man. This was reported on Tuesday by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Tajikistan.
As specified by the department, in May 2024, the woman entered into a personal relationship with a 24-year-old man, with whom she subsequently gave birth to a child. Later, in order to obtain material benefits, the suspect made a demand to transfer 5,400 somoni, threatening to disseminate defamatory information on social networks.
Later, according to the investigation, she again made a demand, this time for the transfer of 1 million Russian rubles allegedly for the purchase of residential real estate, threatening to continue the blackmail in case of refusal. The deadline for fulfilling the demand was set until August 2025.
A criminal case has been opened against the suspect under Part 1 of Article 250 ("Extortion") of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Tajikistan. A preliminary investigation is currently underway.
