For touching the Singapore Stewardess, Ukrainian migrant worker threatens to flogging with rods

In Singapore, a 35-year-old citizen of Ukraine is judged by a sexual crime. The object of the harassment of the Slav was the stewardess. Now the "loving" migrant worker threatens a prison term. In addition, it can be carved with rods.

A photograph of the accused Sergei Serkov is published by the Singapore newspaper The Straits Times .

According to the investigation, during the Moscow -Singapore flight, the Ukrainian passenger twice touched the buttocks of the 34 -year -old Singapore flight attendant and once touched her chest. "The crime was committed on November 15 between 4:15 and 4:18 local time, when the Singapore Airlines aircraft was in Thai airspace," Interfax reports.

“The police were waiting for the violator to have a criminal case under the article“ Insulting dignity, ”said the press secretary of the Foreign Ministry of Ukraine Alexander Dikusarov against him.

Sergei Serkov was released on bail, and the Embassy of Ukraine in Singapore provided him with a translator and lawyer.

According to the newspaper, Serkov works as a sales manager in Singapore. In court he is represented by the local lawyer Desmond Tan. The pre -trial meeting will be held on Friday.

If the court finds Serkov guilty, he may face imprisonment for up to two years, a fine and flogging with rods. It is possible that the Singapore Themis will apply to the culprit all three types of punishment at once.

The flogging procedure in Singapore is strictly regulated. The guilty are tied to the bench and the buttocks are exposed. Depending on the degree of guilt, the thickness of the rosen and the number of blows are determined. After execution, the wounds are treated and allowed them to drag on. “And after a few days they can repeat the procedure,” writes the Ukrainian newspaper Today .

Punish punishments in Singapore are also popular in our time. For example, in 1993, a local court sentenced to six strokes with sticks and four months of prison of an American teenager who broke traffic signs in the city and painted cars with paint. US President Bill Clinton stood up for the "ward of the bully", but this did not protect him from punishment.

Russians "prefer" Israeli stewardesses

Russian tourists behave no better than Ukrainian migrant workers. So, in 2008 and 2009, Russian travelers at some whim selectively bit the Israeli stewardesses for the buttocks. “Moreover, the victims were exclusively employees of the ISRAIR airline on the route Moscow -Eilat,” RBC recalls.

On November 16, 2008, on board the aircraft belonging to the Israeli ISRAir airline, two Russian tourists in a state of strong intoxication arranged a brawl with an attempt to rape . One of them beat his wife, the second bit the Israeli stewardess for the buttocks. The pilot had to go into the salon to reassure Buyanov, because the flight attendants could not cope with them.

As a result, Dmitry Tsindadze and Dmitry Kazakov were arrested immediately upon arrival at Eilat Airport. The Israeli court condemned each of the tourists to 12 months of prison conditionally. Moreover, the Russians had to stay in Israel for 8 days in prison, pay a fine, and then they were expelled from the country.

And six months later, on April 18, 2009, on the flight of the same airline along the Moscow -Eilat route, a drunken 27 -year -old Russian, first began to build up neighbors, and then, flirting with a stewardess, kissed her on the buttock. When the girl did not respond to harassment, the tourist moved to more active actions, pressing him and biting .

At the same time, a drunken fighting couple arranged a drunken fight, which, after exchanging curses and insults, began to sort things out with the help of fists. The flight attendants spread the spouses and handed over all the police violators as soon as the aircraft arrived at Eilat International Airport.
