While law enforcement agencies were engaged in release of the young man, she and her spouse "sat on Petrovka in the separate room and waited for a call of the thief". In the last day the criminal did not contact, and I. Kaspersky's parents learned that everything ended, how information appeared in media.

"Criminals acted strictly, during telephone conversations of threats did not arrive, except once when the main malefactor told that he does not want to take a sin on soul that was a signal that in general they can go for any actions" — Kaspersky told later.

According to official information of the Municipal Department of Internal Affairs, Ivan Kaspersky was released from hands of thieves only on Sunday April 24, 2011. By this time its location was already born by the working mobile phone.

"Crime was the most this, my son was captured on the street, took away from him all clothes and everything that with it was, and changed clothes for some uniform. Its five days kept, as far as I know, in handcuffs in a dark bath. He did not even know how many days he spent there.
