Former Khabarovsk Governor Sergey Furgal, who was sentenced to 22 years in prison last week for ordering three contract killings (only two of which were successful), has appealed the court’s ruling against him, according to Russian state media.
“He’s requesting to overturn the sentence [...] and return the case for reconsideration with a different composition of judges,” Frugal’s lawyer told TASS.
