Taganskaya organized crime group members have filed an appeal against the court verdict

The Court of Appeal has received a complaint against the verdict of members of the Taganskaya organized Criminal group (OCG). This was reported to Izvestia in court on March 27.

The defendants in the case were sentenced on May 12 last year to terms ranging from 22 to 25 years. Depending on their role in the organized crime group, they were found guilty of creating and participating in an armed gang and criminal community, murder, kidnapping, theft, robbery, extortion and illegal arms trafficking.

In favor of the victims, it was decided to recover more than 44 million rubles from the convicts.

Common grounds: criminal cases will be initiated against five Rostov judges

They are suspected of taking bribes and imposing unjust sentences.

In May, the FSB's Public Relations Center reported the discovery and seizure of more than 100 weapons and explosives from the Taganskaya organized crime group's cache, including 35 Kalashnikov assault rifles of various modifications, 27 pistols of foreign and Russian brands, nine revolvers, eight rifles with optics and silencers, eight submachine guns and more than 15 thousands of rounds of different calibers.

The criminal case against 11 defendants was submitted to the Moscow City Court in 2021 for consideration on the merits. Grigory Rabinovich, the leader of the Taganskaya organized crime group, who was detained in 2019, died in a pre-trial detention center in Moscow on June 26, 2024. According to the Izvestia source, the cause of death of the defendant, known in criminal circles as Grisha Tagansky, could have been a heart attack. The man died at night in the "Matrosskaya Tishina", before he lived to see the trial.
