Members of the so-called gang GTA drivers committed murder in Moscow to seize the funds of the victims, said the representative of the Russian Investigative Committee Vladimir Markin.

“ I have to completely dispel the approval of a number of media reports, the attackers allegedly guided by national, religious or any other altruistic motives. As I said, the main motive for the murder was taking possession of the funds of their victims. Indications detainees and other evidence suggests that they were killed indiscriminately, irrespective of nationality and social status are often content with even a small amount of money that they are at the dead “, – said Markin.

Earlier media reported that the gang GTA could be part of a system of recruiting fighters for the extremist organization. Also, the media wrote that in several cases of murder victims are not disappearing money and valuables.

Last week it became known about the large-scale law enforcement operations conducted in the metropolitan area to curb the activities of a criminal group that committed a series of at least 14 murders on the slopes of the Moscow region (the so-called gang GTA).

In Ramenskoye near Moscow at the storming home by SWAT was killed by a native of Kyrgyzstan Rustam Usmanov. In one of the houses on the Dmitrov highway in Moscow have detained 10 people, including a native of Tajikistan Abdumukima Mamadchonova. Later in the Vladimir region, was detained another suspect.

However, most of the detainees, as reported by Interfax, “directly to the actions of the gang related, so some of them were released, but those who did not have proper documentation, will soon be deported to their homeland (in Central Asian countries).

The investigation established and declared wanted ten alleged members of the gang.
