Russian media reports say FSB officer. Lieutenant Aleksey Korotkov, 34, will spend 24 years in a high-security prison for being a member of a gang of rogue law enforcers, which for years terrorized businessmen and labor migrants in Russia’s Tyumen, killing at least ten.

Four officers from the FSB (Federal Security Service) and the police reportedly put together a gang to lure cash from shady local businessmen, involved in money laundering, instead of arresting them.  The men, who were assigned to protect the law, resorted to the most violent and heinous crimes in pursuit of their goal.

The so-called “Killer gang from the FSB,” which was active in the Siberian city between 2008 and 2016, has the blood of at least ten people on their hands.

The scheme they used was cunning and merciless.  The dirty law enforcers sent businessmen anonymous threats and then offered their protection services.  In order to show off the results of their work to the clients, they abducted and murdered labor migrants from Central Asia, including two Tajik nationals, whom they dressed in fancy suits to look like serious menacing people.
