‼️🇷🇺 A multinational gang was extorting money from SVO veterans, special forces punished the scum The footage stem from a high-profile arrest operation in Moscow on November 21, 2025, involving Russia's Special Rapid Reaction Unit (SOBR). This event has gained POPULAR traction online, highlighting a crackdown on organized crime preying on participants in Russia's Special Military Operation (SVO). No official government statement has been released as of November 22, but investigative outlets & law enforcement leaks provide a consistent picture. What Happened? A multinational criminal group, described in reports as an "ethnic organized crime group" with ties to banned sects like the Batal-Hadji network, was systematically targeting SVO veterans and their families. Their tactics included: - Abductions and torture to extort combat payments (often in range of millions of rubles). - Threats against relatives, including visits to homes of veterans' wives & children to demand money. - Using informants (e.g., elite taxi drivers) to identify vulnerable targets, such as recently returned fighters from regions like Rostov, Donetsk, Luhansk, & Zaporozhye - In one linked case from earlier in 2025, similar groups lured soldiers via dating sites or underage girls posing as escorts, then posed as police to demand ransoms up to 3 million rubles. SOBR operatives conducted a dramatic roadside stop in Moscow, pulling over a vehicle carrying several suspects. Bodycam and dashcam footage circulating online shows the suspects being forcibly removed from the car, subdued with physical force (including strikes and restraints), and detained. One suspect, claiming to be "just a driver," was identified as Ruslan Kartoev (full name: Ruslan Zhalaudtinovich Kartoev), an Ingush national and alleged active member of the Batal-Hadji group—a banned extremist organization in Russia known for violent crimes and radical ideologies. Other members remain unnamed in reports but are described as part of a broader network. The "harsh" video captures the no-holds-barred takedown. It's been praised in nationalist circles as a "demonstrative punishment" No casualties were reported among the suspects, but the operation was framed as a message to deter similar crimes. SVO veterans—estimated at over 1 million cumulatively—have become a protected class in Russian domestic policy, with dedicated legal aid, psychological support, and "one-stop" assistance programs to shield them from exploitation. Incidents like this one follow a string of similar busts: - january 2025 (Rostov Region)**: FSB dismantled an OPG (organized crime group) abducting soldiers and extorting businessmen in annexed territories, using fake Wagner PMC operatives. - April-May 2025 (Sheremetyevo Airport): Over a dozen arrests in a scam ring stealing/extorting from arriving SVO fighters; leader Aleksey Kabochkin charged with organized fraud. - September 2024 (Primorye): An ethnic gang drove a one-armed veteran to a suicide attempt through relentless extortion; two suspects detained after public outcry from Duma deputy Alexander Khinshtein. - October 2024 (Belgorod): FSB busted a group shaking down contract sign-ups for the SVO. These cases often involve "ethnic" elements (e.g., Central Asian or Caucasian networks), fueling "lawlessness" and calls for harsher measures. On Russian social media and state-aligned outlets, the SOBR action is hailed as justice—"they got it in full"—with hopes of rewards for the operatives rather than reprimands. War correspondent Alexander Kots echoed this, praising the "popular" show of force. This fits into broader efforts, like a March 2024 federal law enabling "military rehabilitation" for ex-convicts who join the SVO, while ramping up protections. Over 33,000 vehicles have been confiscated from violators in 2.5 years, with many redirected to SVO needs. Batal-Hadji, charges could escalate to terrorism. I APPROVE & APPRECIATE this JUSTICE ! DO YOU ?
