The Krasnoyarsk Territory investigating bodies of the Russia’s Investigative Committee have finished investigating a criminal case against Vilor Struganov, 52, and his accomplices Vladimir Osharov and Igor Yelovsky. Depending on the role of each one of them in crimes, they are charged with crimes under article 17, paragraphs “e” and “i” of Article 102 of the RSFSR Penal Code (organization of the murder of two or more people), part 3 of article 33, paragraphs “a”, “g” and “j” of article 105 of the RF Penal Code (organization of murder by a group in a previous concert in order to conceal another crime), part 1 of article 222 of the RF Penal Code (illegal purchase, transmission, sale, storage of firearms and ammunition), part 5 of article 33, paragraphs “a” and “g” of part 2 of article 105 (complicity in a murder committed by a group of people in a previous concert), paragraph “g” of part 2 of article 105 (murder committed by a group of people in a previous concert).
According to investigators, between 1994 and 1998, Struganov organized murders of 5 residents of Krasnoyarsk, who were famous in certain circles. The main motive was to get rid of his rivals in criminal sphere.
This way, on 12 May 1994, a 43-year-old local resident on the order of Struganov in a basement in Krasnoyarsk shot at least 27 times from an AK-47 at Yuri Tolmachev, who was known among criminals as Tolmach. A short time later he died at a hospital.
On 7 November 1995, in a VAZ-21099 car, Struganov’s personal driver and his bodyguard Telpyakov in complicity with Yelovsky killed Mikhaylenko, whom the organizer had suspected of intending to kill his business partner.
On 10 January 1997, in the city of Krasnoyarsk, on the order of Struganov, Osharov hit at least 14 times with a blunt solid object in Telpyakov’s head killing him at the scene. Struganov organized his crime to get rid of a witness and killer.
On 21 July 1997, at a parking lot next to a house in Krasnoyarsk, the gang leader ordered Osharov and two accomplices, the cases against whom are now being tried in a court, to kill Artyushkov aka Artyushok.
On 18 June 1998, on the order of Struganov, near a house in Krasnoyarsk, Yelovsky in accomplice with an acquaintance of his killed Filippov aka Filipp.
The investigators have gathered enough evidence, so the case with the approved indictment has been forwarded to court to be tried on the merits.
