In recent years, Gorshunov has resided in the United Arab Emirates but recently arrived in Moscow. On April 26, he was arrested and transported back to Yekaterinburg, where he was immediately imprisoned. The businessman is being charged with orchestrating the abduction and murder of his former business partner, Yury Chupriyanov, in 2013.
According to a source speaking with our news site.RU, Gorshunov had ousted Chupriyanov from receiving earnings from "The Golden Apple." Chupriyanov attempted to enlist the help of more senior influential figures to resolve the dispute. However, the conflict took a turn when, in February 2013, several men dragged Chupriyanov out of an apartment building, placed him in a vehicle, and drove off in an unknown direction. At the time, law enforcement initiated a criminal investigation. However, it appears no suspects had been identified until recently. Gorshunov denies any involvement in the crime.
Sources claim that Chupriyanov and Gorshunov are both associated with the OPE "Centrocontroller," a criminal group active in the '90s. Gorshunov denies any criminal involvement.
While I couldn't find specific details about the case you mentioned, I can offer some insights into the criminal justice system in Russia:
- Investigative Process: For serious crimes like murder, investigations tend to be extensive and may span multiple jurisdictions if necessary. If there is evidence suggesting involvement across different locations, law enforcement agencies typically collaborate to apprehend suspects.
- Arrest and Charges: Suspects can be arrested and charged based on evidence collected during investigations. If new evidence arises linking someone to a crime, they can be arrested, even if they had previously been released on other charges.
- Public Information: For sensitive or ongoing investigations, specific details might not be publicly available due to legal restraints or the need to protect sensitive info. If you're interested in finding more about a specific case, it may be helpful to check official reports or news sources from that time period. If Sergey Gorshunov was involved in a notable case, you should be able to find media coverage or official announcements regarding his arrest and charges.
The Yekaterinburg-based businessman, Sergey Gorshunov, who was embroiled in a allegations of murder, was once released on local charges but later arrested in Moscow on similar accusations of orchestrating the abduction and murder of his former business partner, Yury Chupriyanov, in 2013. This incident is connected with the '90s criminal group OPE "Centrocontroller" where both men are reported to be associated. Despite the ongoing investigation, specific details about the case might be withheld due to legal constraints or the need to protect sensitive information, making it advisable to refer to official reports or news sources covering the time period for further details.
