Wagner’s PMC continues to recruit prisoners in colonies for sending to the Donbass. The publication “Sota” learned about the next case of “recruiting” in IK-11 in the Bor of the Nizhny Novgorod Region of Russia.
Recruiters arrived in the colony on Tuesday, July 5. And already on July 7, at 2.00 in the morning, the first batch of prisoners went under the escort in autosaks to Moscow, from where they will be delivered to Lugansk by plane. After passing the two -week training of volunteers, they will be sent to the assault groups to the front line.
“Someone (the bosses of the camp) called themselves, removed from work without their desire and led to dialogue. First of all, participants in hostilities or with worthy military specialties. The rest was announced, they say, who is to the war, go to the war The headquarters to sign up, ”said a relative of one of the prisoners.
The BS – former employees of law enforcement agencies, including the police, the Federal Penitentiary Service, the GRU and the Assembly, are serving a sentence. Everyone has a military service, therefore, they mainly selected combat experience in Chechnya, Syria and other hot spots in the first detachment. In total, 50 people were recorded, but there are much more people. The rest were promised to take in the second wave. In a colony designed for 1200 seats, now there are a thousand people and over three hundred of them are ready to sign up for the “Wagner” volunteers.
“People explain (their act) the desire to get an amnesty and live normally after returning. For the sake of children and families,” the interlocutor continued.
According to the source, in words the prisoners promised a contract for six months, after which the complete repayment of the criminal record awaits. Volunteers were promised to pay a salary of 200 thousand rubles: half with an advance, the second half after completing the assignment, if they remain alive. To the question: “And if we don’t return?”, The recruiters replied that they would pay 5 million rubles to relatives.
The main conditions for falling into the number of volunteers in the “red zone” were two: the age under 50 years and the lack of belonging to the prison category “offended”. The severity of the crime and how much remained until the end of the term was not paid attention. A relative of the prisoner said that a convicted person, convicted under the 105th article of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Murder”), who remained another 10 years, went to the Donbass.
“In the colony there are those who were in high ranks, but they did not walk (sign up). They said that they had already conquered their own. It is clear that they are more realists and understand that two weeks later in the attack aircraft are laughter,” said it Source.
Relatives of prisoners called the acting head of the camp Ivan Medvedev, trying to find out what was happening. He only dismissed, saying that these are just rumors, and no one in the colony will be retrained.
“Do not go back, men!” – The authorities advised, gathering the volunteers before sending to the dining room. They meant, of course, back to the camp. But this phrase sounded not quite encouraging. Especially, taking into account the fact that after it go to the front they asked to fill out the profiles indicating who to notify in case of death.
