The prosecution demanded that thief in law Torkunov be sentenced to 25 years in prison. Previously, the jury found him guilty of occupying a high position in the criminal hierarchy, robbery and extortion. It is known that Turok led a drug cartel associated with the richest businessman in Moldova, Vladimir Plahotniuc.

A source from the Cheka-OGPU said that when Turok learned at the stage of the investigation how much time he was facing, he agreed to pre-trial. The main condition of the investigation was to provide information on those thieves who crowned him. The case materials state that Torkunov fully understands the gravity of the crimes he committed, repents of committing them and petitions to conclude a pre-trial cooperation agreement with the preliminary investigation authorities, provided for in Chapter 40.1 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation. The essence, procedure and consequences of concluding a pre-trial agreement on cooperation are clear and understandable to him, including the consequences of his failure to comply with the clauses of the concluded agreement.

In order to assist the investigation in solving and investigating the crimes charged against him, within the framework of a pre-trial cooperation agreement, Torkunov A.G. undertakes to actively assist the investigation in solving and investigating crimes committed with his participation and the participation of other persons, to expose other accomplices in crimes, to report about the role of each of them in the criminal group under his leadership, as well as the circumstances of their participation in specific episodes of criminal activity, including those unknown to the investigation, search property acquired with funds received from criminal activities, namely, provide comprehensive information and give detailed testimony about the circumstances of his occupation in 2013 of the highest position in the criminal hierarchy, assigning him the status of “thief in law” and information about the actions and decisions that he has assumed this position from the moment of his coronation to the present time.
