DescriptionThe governor of Russia's far-eastern Khabarovsk region has been arrested on suspicion of orchestrating the murder of a string of entrepreneurs about 15 years ago.

Sergey Furgal is considered the "organiser of an attempted murder and the murder of a number of businesspeople" in 2004 and 2005, according to a statement published on Thursday by Russia's top investigative agency.

Four members of the organised criminal group Furgal is allegedly linked with were previously convicted for their roles in the murders, committed in Khabarovsk and the neighbouring Amur region, said the Investigative Committee that handles investigations into serious crimes.

Furgal was taken into custody outside his home, Russian state news agency TASS reported.

A Zhirinovsky accolade gets clamped quite ungracefully. And though he'll be sorely missed by his pet rat, he humiliated a Putin puppet in an election in 2018 and took Khabarovsk in a landslide.

Curious. In a land infamous for its cabals, elaborate frame-ups and star chambers, does anyone else here also smell a rat?
