By Thursday morning had established the identity of the robber. According to the investigative Committee he was a native of the Moscow region Alexei when born in 1987. He was a customer of the Bank, when it found the card of the ICD.
On the motives of the perpetrator of reliable data is still there. But very specific requested amount: he wanted to 4,7 million rubles and 13 thousand euros. Otherwise, raider promised to blow up himself and the banking Department.
However, an hour later the criminal has released five hostages.
“Behaved correctly. He allowed us to leave the Bank”, — told later one of the hostages.
In the Bank there was one teller who took refuge in a protected capsule with money. Then the robber began negotiations. Under the guise of negotiator in the room of the office came soldier SWAT, speed and clarity of action which determined the outcome of the case. As soon as the raider had demonstrated a willingness to press the button on the remote, it was liquidated with two shots.
“SWAT officers fired two shots in the head through the glass, resulting in a hostage-taking man has been eliminated”, — said “the Tape.ru” a source close to the investigation.
The source also said that when a suspect was traumatic gun and a fake bomb.
“The layout was very high quality, well detailed,” said the source.
According to investigators, the victim could claim the refund for a particular debt.
In addition, all points to a poorly planned attack: the man gave the impression of a skilled criminal.
“Regular or serial robbers are faster and tougher. They appreciate every moment and not like a quiet and peaceful gentlemen, describe how this criminal witnesses, says criminal psychologist Victor Vorotyntsev. — Professional criminals working groups with the involvement of drivers and “beacons” (standing guard). Here we are talking more about a certain mental accentuation or disorder.
A RIA Novosti source in law enforcement agencies admitted that attacked Moscow Bank can be a borrower of foreign currency mortgages.
Raider who seized hostages in a Bank in the East of Moscow, acted as Amateur and could be the last clean before the law — such opinion was expressed by the RIA Novosti source in one of the law enforcement agencies of the capital who participated in the military operation, “He was not satisfied with firing at the ceiling, not threatened the hostages to kill them as prepared to commit heinous crimes raider. But do not panic, do not twitch when the police arrive, as caught off guard when the robbery was a drug addict. He probably planned that immediately will take the money and disappear, and when the plan fell through — didn’t know what to do next.”
The decision by the robber to release the hostages immediately after the appearance of the police shows that he acted spontaneously and did not intend to harm them, said the Agency interlocutor. At the same time, he noted that the presence of weapons and dummy bombs, as well as the fact that the offender is named a specific amount, prove that the robbery was planned.
“Such a strange amount — that’s 4.7 million rubles and 13 thousand Euro probably has some explanation. Perhaps people got into large debts — for example, became one of the ill-fated “the exchange of food”, and he needed a very specific amount. It is possible that he considered his situation hopeless and therefore he went on a crime”, — said the representative of power structures.
He also noted that the robber “in fact, did everything to perish in the storm”: “If he had not become enough remote, and no one was to open fire on him. Maybe nervous, maybe deliberately framed themselves, but then the fighter just had to use weapons”.
