The perpetrator of the murder of lawyer Konstantin Kulagi, committed in 2010, will appear in court in Moscow

In Moscow, the perpetrator of the murder of lawyer Konstantin Kulagi in 2010 will appear in court. The Investigative Committee of Russia reported this to Lenta.ru.

The defendant turned out to be a local resident who had been previously convicted several times. He is accused under Part 2 of Article 105 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Murder committed by an organized group, for mercenary reasons, for hire”), Part 2 of Article 228 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Illegal acquisition, storage without the purpose of selling narcotic drugs, committed on a large scale”) and Part 1 of Article 222 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Illegal trafficking in ammunition for firearms”). All materials have been submitted to the court.

According to the investigation, the person who ordered the crime had a personal grudge against Kulaga due to long-term financial disputes. He decided to organize reprisals against him and found accomplices. He thought out a crime plan, according to which the defendant repeatedly came to the house of Kulaga, who lived on Academician Anokhin Street, for several days, and studied his daily routine and travel routes.

So, on the evening of March 5, 2010, the accused took a 7.62 mm TT pistol and arrived at the lawyer’s apartment. He lured him onto the landing, and a struggle ensued between them. As a result, the defendant fired a targeted shot at the man’s head.
