Russia has accused Gagiyev’s gang of murdering 60 people including Vitaly Karayev, the mayor of the city of Vladikavkaz in the region of North Ossetia, which borders Chechnya in the North Caucasus, as well as the region’s former deputy premier. Both men were shot in their cars in 2008.

Gagiyev is “accused of involvement in dozens of contract killings including of law enforcement chiefs, top officials and well-known businessmen,” Volk said.

The Investigative Committee, which probes serious crime and is in charge of his case, said his gang committed killings in Moscow, Moscow region and North Ossetia.

The gang’s victims included the heads of two Russian banks, Kommmersant reported.
