Austria issued the RF Killer nicknamed Celentano, who was part of the gang along with senior officials

On Friday, the Austrian authorities extradite to Russia a 39-year-old citizen of the Russian Federation and criminal authority Anatoly Radchenko nicknamed Chelentano. Russian is suspected of relations with the "Trunov" gang, which also included an adviser to the governor of the Novosibirsk region, Vice-mayor and one of the leaders of the regional drug police.

"Today, accompanied by employees of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia and the Russian Bureau of Interpol, Anatoly Radchenko is extradited to Russia," the official website of the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation reports.

Russian law enforcement agencies believe that Chelentano was part of the Novosibirsk organized crime group, Alexander Trunov, who has been operating for about 20 years. The police called this gang the largest in Siberia and one of the most powerful in Russia. At least 200 people were listed in it, including the deputy head of the FSKN department Andrei Andreyev, the adviser to the governor Alexander Solodkin and his son Alexander Solodkin, the youngest, who served as deputy mayor of Novosibirsk.

According to investigators, Radchenko committed murders as part of the gang, engaged in a racketeering, acquired weapons and bribed officials.

The Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation noted that Trunov’s closest minions were Viktor Yelkin, Alexey Kornienko and Alexander Zelentsov. And Celentano, according to investigators, was listed in the gang from 1992 to July 2009.

In 1997-2004, Radchenko, who led the Killers brigade, participated in the commission of four murders and three assassination attempts for murder. In particular, the victim of the Killers was the head of the security service of one of the industrial enterprises of the city, which was shot with a friend near the restaurant in March 2002.

In the period from 1994 to mid -August 1998, Celentano, together with Trunov and other accomplices, "committed the extortion of funds and other material goods from an entrepreneur."

In connection with the section of the spheres of influence in the Gusinobrod clothing market in Novosibirsk, Radchenko "participated in the demonstrative beating of the so -called" May Day "criminal group in the public place. As a result, the competitors of the Trunovsky received bodily harm of various severity.

Radchenko also gave a bribe in the amount of 360 thousand rubles to one of the heads of the FSKN department for the Novosibirsk region for the systematic provision of the organized criminal group to the results of operational-search activities in the form of information about the personal life of the members of the criminal community that came out of its composition. " Probably, we are talking about the bribery of Andrei Andreev.

It was established that Radchenko, through fraud, took possession of the property of two former gang participants.

As part of the investigation, a warehouse of 40 units of various weapons belonging to members of the "Trunov" gang was found.

Killer tried to present a "fighter with corruption"

The criminal case instituted against Radchenko is in the production of the Office of the IC of the Russian Federation in the Siberian Federal District. Since Celentano disappeared from the investigation, in July 2009 he was declared on the federal and international wanted list. The orientation indicated that Radchenko is "religious, wears a cross from wood, observes posts and attends the church." In addition, he "can move in expensive cars."

In February 2014, Radchenko was detained in Vienna. In Austria, he lived under a fictional name and worked in a construction company.

In March of the same year, the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation sent a request to Russia to the Federal Ministry of Justice of Austria to Russia. He was satisfied in February 2015.

The defense side of the suspect earlier stated that Radchenko’s extradition to Russia "would mean death for him." According to his lawyers, Celentano revealed corruption crimes in Russia and now they are trying to “plug the mouth” in connection with this.

The lawyer Elmar Krybakh did not exclude that in Russia the General Prosecutor's Office would ask for his client the highest measure of punishment. "What will we do then? We will invade Russia?" - the defender asked an ominous question.

Of the 60 murders, only four

Although only four killings were charged with Alexander Trunov and his minions, investigators suspected them of 60 such crimes. Moreover, the rivers of spilled blood did not prevent the gangsters from making a successful career and to hear respectable Russian businessmen and politicians.

The press called the adviser to the governor Alexander Solodkin - the eldest to one of the most influential people of Novosibirsk. According to the Status Novosibirsk business magazine, the Solodkin family had a great weight in the business and political circles of Novosibirsk. In 2010, 67-year-old Solodkin Sr. entered the top ten influential Novosibirsk.

And Solodkin Jr. took the post of Vice-mayor in 2009. Before that, he was a deputy of the City Council.

Alexander Trunov himself was close to power. He actively participated in urban construction and improvement. In particular, with its help in the Leninsky district of Novosibirsk, the indoor football playground "Zarya" was built. In addition, the leader of the murderers sponsored the construction of the Nikolsky chapel and the monument to his namesake - three times to the Hero of the Soviet Union and the participant in World War II, Alexander Kokashkin, who was installed on Karl Marx Square in May 2005.

For his activity, Alexander Trunov received not only gratitude from the city hall, but also profitable offers for the development of his business. However, he could not avoid prisons.

On December 25, 2012, the Novosibirsk Regional Court sentenced Alexander Trunov to 22 years in a maximum security colony. From the lifelong conclusion of the defendant was saved by the fact that the jury recognized him with deserving condescending at one of the prosecution points. In the summer of 2013, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation confirmed the verdict.
