"The amounts were divided on certain defendants, while the others were distributed a few rations under the pretext that the amount they were bargaining a little while they take large sums of money as well as the process of agreeing on the amount and receipt and delivery was administered by them."
"One of the abductees fled. This led to the discovery of one of the accused. The accused had to avoid the matter and pay a sum of money as a tribal part. This sum was collected from the gang members' shares after an operation was carried out."
The defendant mentioned details of other operations, including the targeting of a gold dealer in one of the Rusafa areas, pointing out that "this process was carried out through the victim's follow-up and his family was agreed to a hundred thousand dollars, but they told us that only thirty thousand were received and divided into the rest of the gang."
