The Moscow prosecutor’s office released footage showing a bank robbery on Presnensky Val in the capital. The clip appeared on the prosecutor’s official Telegram channels, where updates about the investigation are typically posted.
The office offered a preliminary account of the incident, noting that unknown suspects approached the victims in a car, opened fire, and appeared to steal a substantial sum before fleeing the scene. The exact sequence of events and the total amount taken are still under verification as investigators work to reconstruct the episode from available evidence.
The Ministry confirmed that a criminal case has been initiated and that efforts are underway to identify those involved. Law enforcement officials are coordinating with prosecutors to determine the attackers’ motives, capture them, and recover any remaining funds. The case remains a priority for the city’s security and crime-prevention agencies as they review surveillance footage, forensic findings, and eyewitness statements.
Earlier reports noted by RIA Novosti suggested that a group of criminals targeted a bank in Moscow and allegedly extracted around 300 million rubles. It was stated that the main subject of the theft was not the bank building itself but the couriers transferring money from an ATM to the bank. According to a Telegram channel known for real-time updates, the suspects were traveling in a Mercedes vehicle, adding another detail to the evolving narrative of the incident.
In a separate detail that has circulated in media coverage, it was reported that an ex offender who had previously carried out similar robberies managed to obtain cash from a safe, and then allegedly used a lighter to ignite some of the banknotes. Investigators are examining these claims against the broader timeline of events and the availability of corroborating evidence from security cameras and recovered items.
As the investigation continues, authorities emphasize the need for patience and careful verification of every detail. The public is advised to rely on official channels for confirmed information and to report any relevant tips to the appropriate law enforcement bodies. The pursuit of justice in this case involves a multi-agency effort, including financial crime specialists who are tracing the movement of funds and analyzing the security measures employed at the time of the robbery. The ongoing inquiry aims to establish a clear account of how the breach occurred, identify the participants, and prevent similar incidents in the future, reinforcing the city’s commitment to safeguarding financial institutions and the people who rely on them for everyday banking needs.
