The founders of the "Pokrovsky" concern have been sentenced to long terms.

The Golovinsky District Court of Moscow sentenced Andrey Korovaiko and Arkadiy Chebanov in absentia to 24 years of imprisonment in a strict regime colony. In addition, Korovaiko was fined more than 303 million rubles, Chebanov - 432 million rubles.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", in August, the Preobrazhensky District Court of Moscow sentenced a member of the organized crime group "Pokrovsky", Sergey Yechkalov, to 20 years of imprisonment; the term was increased due to the case of an attempted raider seizure of the "Kushchevsky" agro-complex.

The atmosphere of fear remains in Kushchevskaya years after the trial of the Tsapkov gang

Relatives of the victims on the 11th anniversary of the tragedy in Kushchevskaya honored their memory, reported a relative of the victim in the "Kushchevskaya massacre", businessman Server Ametov. The "Pokrovsky" concern replaced the Tsapkovs in the Kushchevsky district, which kept the stanitsa in fear for several years, noted journalist Evgeny Mikhailov.

Andrey Korovaiko and Arkadiy Chebanov were found guilty of large-scale fraud, bribery, coercion to give false testimony, embezzlement, extortion, false denunciation, and false testimony, as well as organizing a criminal community, reports "Kommersant" today, citing its sources.

As a result, the capital court sentenced both businessmen to 24 years of imprisonment each. Korovaiko was also fined more than 303 million rubles, Chebanov - 432 million rubles. In addition, the court ordered the confiscation of funds amounting to nearly 178 million rubles obtained as a result of the crime.

According to the court's decision, claims for moral damages of 10 million rubles for one of the victims and 1 million rubles in favor of two others were satisfied. The court also satisfied the claim for material damages from AK "Kushchevsky" for more than 138 million rubles.

On November 4, 2010, a mass murder occurred in the home of Kushchevsky farmer Server Ametov, which initiated the investigation into the case of Sergey Tsapok's gang. The reason for the attack on Ametov's estate was Tsapok's desire to avenge the death of his brother Nikolai, who was killed in 2002. The victims of the brutal murder included 12 people, including four children. Gang members were sentenced to long prison terms, and Sergey Tsapok himself died in prison, according to a report published on "Caucasian Knot" "The case of Tsapok's gang".

"Caucasian Knot" also reported that Viktor Momotov, who headed the Council of Judges of Russia since 2016, submitted his resignation from this post amid the court proceedings regarding the General Prosecutor's claim for the confiscation of his property. The agency insists that Momotov's status was a cover for illegal activities of Marton hotels.
