An incident involving co-owners of a Rostov-on-Don smartphone shop escalated into a brutal assault, according to a Telegram channel report identified as Rostov main – İlk1. The precise trigger for the dispute between the partners remains unspecified in the report, but the following day one of the co-owners allegedly arranged for two men to attack his business partner.
The assailants were said to confront the victim outdoors, and the confrontation quickly turned violent. The victim sustained a concussion, hematomas around both eyes, two broken ribs, and a fracture of the nasal bones with displacement. He also received multiple bruises and other soft-tissue injuries to the head. During the assault, the victim was accompanied by friends who intervened to shield him from the attackers.
The man reported that he would have faced kidnapping if he had been alone, highlighting the danger of the situation. It was noted in the account that one of the attackers allegedly threatened the others with a firearm during the confrontation.
Earlier reports mention a separate high-profile incident in Saint Petersburg involving a businessman who was kidnapped and subjected to torture as part of a dispute over a large export sum. The reference underscores a broader pattern of violence linked to business disagreements in the region. [Source: Rostov main – İlk1 Telegram channel]
