Ex-judge Trishkin, who shot the taxi driver, found a gun near the court

Albert Trishkin, an ex-judge of the Second Western District Military Court, who fired a traumatic pistol at a taxi driver in 2024, found the weapon near his place of work — next to the military court. This was reported on December 10 by a correspondent of Izvestia.

"He found a gun near his work, in Hospital Lane. After the conflict, he dismantled it and threw it on the MKAD," said the son of the ex—judge, who was in the car with his father at the time of the incident.

According to him, during the conflict, the victim provoked Trishkin, hit him in the face and intended to take away the weapon lying on his lap. In addition, the taxi driver allegedly tried to grab a rock and hit the car several times. The judge's son saw the gun for the first time — according to him, his father took it out of the glove compartment.

According to investigators, in August 2024, the ex-judge quarreled with a taxi driver who blocked his path and shot him in the leg with a Makarov traumatic pistol. According to Trishkin, he found the gun "behind the garages" two days before the incident and was going to hand it over to the police department, but did not have time.
