Ukrainian prosecutors recently accused a gang composed of several former police officers of kidnapping cryptocurrency entrepreneurs and extorting over $2.2 million. The gang includes two former police colonels, four police officers, and a civilian with a criminal record, who used official resources and vehicles to impersonate law enforcement officers. At least four cryptocurrency entrepreneurs have been confirmed as victims. In one case, a victim in Kyiv was kidnapped at gunpoint and forced to sign a false debt document for $5 million. The involved police officers have been dismissed, and the case is being handed over to the court for trial. (Decrypt)

Five million dollars worth of fake debt documents, these people are better at writing smart contracts than hackers.

Is dismissal enough? Shouldn't they be detained first?
