| Vyacheslav Ivankov Justified Worries about Accusations http://www.kommersant.com/page.asp?id=591886 Vyacheslav Ivankov (Yaponchik), whom Russian authorities consider a crime boss, was unanimously found not guilty by a jury in the Moscow Municipal Court. After nine years in prison in the United States, he was extradited to Russia on accusations of the murder of two Turkish citizens 13 years ago. The verdict will be read to the already released Yaponchik today, strictly as a formality. “A knockout, pure victory over the prosecutor,” Ivankov's lawyer, Yury Rakitin, called the verdict. The prosecutor not only lost the case, the outcome of which was in doubt almost from the beginning, he was forced to fire Grigory Shinakov, his office's head of the department for the investigation of banditry and murder, because of the scandal.
