Criminal authority found drugs and weapons: a harsh sentence

In the Stavropol Territory, the court issued a severe conviction to a criminal authority who controlled the criminal environment in the resort of Kislovodsk. The appointment of 12 years of imprisonment in a correctional colony of strict regime was reported by representatives of the press service of the regional prosecutor's office.

Investigative authorities and the regional court found that the 49-year-old Igor Mnatsakanov from 2018 officially had the highest status in the shadow structure – “situla”. Proving his loyalty to criminal traditions, the man extended his influence on persons associated with the criminal world within the territory of the resort city entrusted to him.

Mnatsakanov was engaged in filling the so-called “thieve community”, actively imposed the rules and customs of the thieves’ subculture, and also kept firearms and a large batch of drugs in his own housing, which operatives discovered and confiscated during the search.

The judicial panel found the defendant guilty under three articles of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, punishing for occupying a higher position in the criminal hierarchy, as well as illegal trafficking in weapons and drugs. In addition to a long prison term, Mnatsakanov was sentenced to a large monetary fine of 600 thousand rubles and a subsequent two-year restriction of freedom.
