The answer is extortion. Extortion is considered to be an offense when a person or group of individuals obtain or gets a property or asset from another individual, because of a threat or fear and also by using the authority of an official office. Extortion is already considered to be an offense, once a person or group of persons started making a threat to another individual, wherein there is a requirement of a payment of money or asset to stop the threats, it is already considered to be an act of extortion.
