Also, the man will be stripped of his title. The court made the same decision in relation to former FSB major Alexander Karelin.

The alleged customer of the attack is businessman Boris Karamatov, who illegally carried out currency conversion.
According to the prosecution, in June 2019, under the guise of carrying out operational activities, the defendants attacked businessman Alexander Yumaranov and stole 136.5 million rubles from him, intended for exchange for dollars, on the territory of Metallurg Bank on Ivan Babushkin Street in Moscow. A group of special forces, dressed in special service uniforms, had traumatic pistols and walkie-talkies with them. A Mercedes car, owned by the mother of another defendant in the case, Konstantin Zharov, was also involved in the robbery.
During the arrest, Zharov testified against his accomplices and admitted his guilt. He was sentenced to 9 years in prison.
