An official of the Yekaterinburg administration will stand trial for murders in a forest in the late 1990s.

      Today at 12:10 a criminal case against 55-year-old city administration official Anton Borovik, who in the turbulent 1990s, according to investigators, was part of a gang of killers led by former security officer Vladislav Sobol, was filed with the Kirovsky District Court of Yekaterinburg. In 2024, criminal cases that were once considered cold were pulled from the archive and successfully solved, reports E1.RU.

      The gang of the head of the department for combating illegal drug trafficking, Vladislav Sobol, operated in the late 1990s and early 2000s, writes Evgeny Koshek, editor of the "Crime" section at E1.RU. The gang included active and former police officers. According to investigators, they are responsible for several contract and mass murders.

      At the time of the arrest, carried out in spring 2025, Anton Borovik was working as head of the Department for Real Estate Transactions of the Yekaterinburg Administration. After leaving the Kirovsky Department of Internal Affairs and before joining the mayor's office he worked as a lawyer.

      In addition to Sobol and Borovik, the gang included former Ministry of Internal Affairs employees Konstantin Kotik, Vladimir Semenyuk and Oleg Girfanov.

      Anton Borovik is accused of exceeding his official authority (Part 3 of Article 286 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) and murder with the intent to conceal another crime (Part 2 of Article 105 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).

      According to the prosecution, in the autumn of 1999 Borovik, together with Sobol and Kotik, were looking for drug dealers near the house at 4 Raevskogo Street. They suspected two young men sitting in a "devyatka". To force confessions they took them to a forest in the Kirovsky district, but the torture, including strangulation with belts, produced no results (the victims likely were not drug dealers), and so they were killed as unnecessary witnesses. The two young men were strangled by Borovik and Kotik. The bodies were then buried.

      Sobol and Kotik gave testimony against Borovik. Borovik himself said that he is being framed and does not admit guilt in the crimes he is charged with.
