Russian beaten, robbed in Phuket hotel room

A Russian man has told authorities that a man who speaks Russian attacked and robbed him of US$ 700,000 in dollars in his motel room in Phuket on Sunday nights. &nbsp,

The victim, whose details were kept secret, told police that he was sleeping in a hotel room in tambon Karon’s Muang neighborhood when somebody knocked on the door about 8o’clock at night.

He claimed that when he opened the door, a Russian-speaking tourist forced his way into the room, punched him in the face many times, and he fell to the floor, according to Karon train captain Pol Col Khundet Na Nongkhai. &nbsp,

The victim claimed that because he had lately undergone stomach surgery, he could never hold back. The attacker requested a sum of money, but he had no idea what the sum would be at first. &nbsp,

The attacker finally tied the victim to a wire cable, taped him, and then placed him on a phone with another Russian guy. The target recognized the words as that of a Russian man who had a problem with a cryptocurrency business. &nbsp,

If the target didn’t gain the roughly$ 120,000 in bitcoin to the Russian on the phone, the victim claimed to have been threatened with death. &nbsp,

Nevertheless, he did not give up his camera’s password, so the intruder failed to get his crypto account. The attacker finally stole all his money, about&nbsp,$ 700 in full. &nbsp,

The target claimed to police that the assailant had tied him to the toilet door and struck him with a sharp object, rendering him unconscious. When he awoke&nbsp, days after he was alone in the area. &nbsp,

Police discovered that the believe was a big man wearing a sweater and a mask after reviewing the hotel security footage.

The inspection is continuing.
