Convicted Krasnoyarsk businessman Anatoly Bykov transferred to Khakassia

Former Deputy of the Legislative Assembly of the Krasnoyarsk Territory Anatoly Bykov, serving a 20-year sentence in a strict regime colony in Karelia, will be sent to Khakassia. This was reported by TASS informed source. The reasons and timing of the staging have not yet been specified.

Bykov received three sentences in criminal cases of murder. In 2021, the court sentenced him to 13 years in prison for organizing the murder of Kirill Voitenko and Alexander Naumov in 1994. In May 2023, he was found guilty of inciting the murder of businessman Andrei Grabovsky and given the previous sentence, he was appointed 17 years in prison. In December of the same year, the third case was extended. The final sentence was 20 years in a strict regime colony.

The news of the transfer came amid a new investigation into 1990s crimes in Khakassia. In September 2026, Vladimir Tatarenkov and his accomplice were detained in the republic. According to law enforcement agencies, in the 1990s, Tatarenkov was considered the leader of a local criminal group. In 2012, he was sentenced to 13.5 years for organizing the murders of Voitenko and Naumov. He was released in August 2020, and in May 2021 gave evidence in the case of Bykov.

Now Tatarenkov is accused of organizing the murder of two men in 1993. According to the investigation, he decided to deal with them in order to strengthen the authority among the participants and leaders of the criminal group. On October 27, 1993, accomplices shot a car from machine guns on the Sayanogorsk-Cheremushki highway, where the victims were.
