The verdict on the criminal case of a Russian Nazi gang was announced at the Omsk Oblast (province) Court, and its members were sentenced to 40 years in prison.

Former police officer and MMA fighter Nikita Fedonenko had formed the gang, Superomsk reported.

He and his accomplices were found guilty under several articles of the Russian Criminal Code, including grave and particularly grave crimes and murder.

In 2016, and being devoted to the ideology of Nazism, this gang had started attacking people from the Caucasus and Central Asia.

And one of their victims was 32-year-old Armenian businessman Vahe Zalibekyan. Experts concluded that he had died of a severe brain injury, and Fedonenko had made the “final touch” with an air rifle.
