A leader of the so-called Tambov gang in St. Petersburg, Russia, has been arrested in connection with two contract killings, a source said.
The unidentified source said Igor Kalinovsky, reportedly one of the Russian gang's top leaders, was arrested along with two other suspects for his alleged role in two apparent gang hits, the Interfax news agency reported Saturday.
"Igor Kalinovsky, a native of the Gomel region (Belarus) and one of the leaders of the criminal community, has been arrested. He and two of his sidekicks have been charged with committing two contract killings," the source said.
"In addition to contract killings, they have been charged with killing one of their accomplices."
The source also said two other suspects in the 2000 and 2001 killings died in a 2004 car crash under unclear circumstances.
