A lesson from a long time ago: ex-head of Lokomotiv was convicted in a murder case in 2002

The former chairman of the board of directors of the football club was sentenced to 10 years in a high-security penal colony.

A correspondent for Izvestia reported from the courtroom on March 4 that in his last statement, killer Kostya Bolshoy called the arguments of the state prosecution a theory of probability and fiction.

Piskarev's defense asked the jury to acquit him on February 19. According to the defender, the burial sites of the alleged victims have not been identified, and such mandatory signs of the group as financial community and unity of purpose have not been confirmed.

In 2022, Piskarev and eight of his accomplices refused to fully admit their guilt in banditry, murder, kidnapping and illegal arms trafficking. However, according to investigators, Piskarev has committed 21 murders since the mid-1990s. However, the bodies of some of the victims have not yet been found.
