While Russian parliamentarians are displaying their outrage at the reality-show mania that is sweeping the nation’s television, at least one show — Dom-2 — has proven to be a hotbed for criminals and porn stars. Turns out one of the participants on the show was a mugger who was on a police wanted list for fraud and robbery. The irony is that if it wasn’t for the show, this repeat offender’s victim wouldn’t have recognized the young man on the screen as the “real estate agent” who once defrauded her of $1,900.

The story of Alexei Adveyev, 25, culminated on July 19, when police, tipped off by the woman, raided the territory of Dom-2 and arrested their culprit right off the set, leading him off in handcuffs. The incident was not filmed live, however: The “reality show” airs 6-7 days after being filmed, and Avdeyev’s fans learned that he was off only on July 25, when the host announced that “Alexei was forced to leave the show,” without any other details save that “we will keep track of what happens to him next.”
