The Moscow City Court has found criminal authority Andrey Torkunov guilty of a series of crimes, including occupying a high position in the criminal hierarchy, extortion, and robbery as part of an organized group. Torkunov has been sentenced to 21 years of imprisonment in a high-security correctional colony and fined 4 million rubles. His three accomplices, Beslan Khabilaev, Roman Cheban, and Sergey Sary, were also found guilty and received prison sentences ranging from 7 to 12 years, along with fines.
According to the court and investigation, Torkunov obtained the status of "thief in law" in 2013 and actively participated in criminal activities, upholding criminal traditions and "crowning" other members of the organized group. The group, created by Torkunov, operated from 2006 to 2017 and committed various crimes, including robberies and extortion. The total amount of seized property exceeded 27 million rubles.
Torkunov is also connected to Moldovan businessman Vladimir Plahotniuc, who is facing criminal charges in Russia. It is suspected that they were organizers of an international criminal community engaged in illegal currency operations and the withdrawal of funds outside of Russia.
