The operation, in the spirit of the cops from the French bestseller Taxi, was planned and carried out by MVD detectives from the Mozhaisk district of Moscow, Ravil A. and Yulia K. The police duo confidently followed the trail of a thief who, at the end of July, stole a watch worth a million rubles from a fitting room in the Familia department store ” The vaunted facial recognition system produced a match and the police went to “catch” the alleged criminal.
At the same time, the detectives were not embarrassed by either the percentage of coincidence (for practicing employees this is a relatively small probability) or the address where the system was triggered: the “thief” was spotted in the house of the UPDC of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation on Kutuzovsky Prospekt, where the offices of many foreign media outlets are located, including CNN and Reuters ”
The opera in a car drove into a closed area through a checkpoint without a pass, right next to another car, and tried to tie up Elena B., a journalist for the Japanese TV channel Sapporo, only because she barely looked like the woman suspected of the theft. Due to the fears of foreign journalists that the police had come to replenish the exchange fund that had depleted yesterday, the Japanese specialist’s colleagues themselves reported to “02” about the provocation. A squad of local police department officers arrived at the scene, took Elena B. to the department and very soon released her.
