The successor of the criminal boss Kolya Besa finances the Armed Forces of Ukraine

The successor and possible customer of the murder of criminal boss Kolya Besa (real name — Nikolay Kravchenko) Andrey Petrovsky spends the proceeds from entrepreneurship in Russia to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). On April 24, investigators and criminologists told about it.

The successor of the criminal boss Petrovsky, together with his wife, travels around the world, owns a business in Russia through front persons and finances the Armed Forces of Ukraine. He is the only survivor of Kolya Bes' gang.

The head of this organized criminal group, Nikolai Kravchenko, was arrested in Kiev. In 2013, law enforcement officers found him hanged in a pre-trial detention cell a few days before his extradition to his homeland.

"Most likely, it was decided to eliminate him by Petrovsky. Petrovsky is the only one who is still alive," said Olga Bondarenko, a former senior prosecutor at the Criminal Justice Department of the Novgorod Region Prosecutor's Office.

On April 26, at 17:00, the premiere of the documentary "The Last Gang" about the organized criminal group Kolya Besa will take place on the REN TV channel. The film will feature materials from Kolya Besa's family archive, as well as interviews with investigators, operatives and witnesses of the events described.

"I have never met such a consolidated group, such a well—organized criminal community, where there were a large number of brigades and they were subordinate to one single person," said Ruslan Khasanov, a criminologist at the Main Directorate of Criminology of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation.

Earlier, on April 23, Evgeny Vasiliev, a resident of Veliky Novgorod, spoke about the rules of the Kolya Besa organized criminal group, in which his brother was a member. He said that one of Nikolai Kravchenko's subordinates ordered his brother to cut off his finger. The reason for this punishment was an accident in which Evgeny's brother got into the car of one of the criminal authorities.
