A criminologist friend of the latest Gazprom-linked Russian tycoon to die in mysterious circumstances has claimed the multimillionaire was murdered.
Yuri Voronov, 61, head of a logistics company that held lucrative contracts with Gazprom in the Arctic, was found shot dead in the swimming pool of his mansion in an ultra-wealthy suburb of St Petersburg around 2pm Monday.
Voronov was found floating in the pool with a gunshot wound to his head, a Grand Power pistol nearby, and several spent cases at the bottom of the pool.
