In Kazan began the trial of the former leader of the criminal group “Hadi Taktash”

The Moscow district court of Kazan has begun to consider a new criminal case against the former head of the criminal group “Hadi Taktash” Radik Galiakberov, also known under the nickname Raja, writes IA “Tatar-inform”. The trial takes place with the participation of jurors.

Galiakberov was specially transferred to Kazan from the Polar Owl penal colony, where he is already serving a life sentence. Along with him, the alleged member of the group Rinat Farkhutdinov and entrepreneurs Vadim Soshnikov and Rafail Khamdeev were in the dock. All four are accused of murdering a businessman in 1998. The investigation believes that the crime was organized by a competitor of the victim, seeking to take over his business. To do this, he turned to Galiakberov, who attracted two accomplices. The murder was committed by shooting an entrepreneur in the entrance of his house on Ibragimov Avenue. Despite the fact that the direct perpetrator of the murder died in 2016 of illness, the investigation managed to collect evidence and bring the case to trial against the remaining defendants.
