The former president of the Aikido Federation in Kuzbass, who established a network of contract killers comprised of athletes he trained and trusted, is still on the run.
Andrey Sinyukov, a 2nd dan blackbelt in Aikido who also owned the ‘Sei Shin’ training facility for children, has been in hiding since May 2015 when the Investigation Committee of the Russian Federation in the Kemerovo region reported that Sinyukov was “suspected in a number of especially grave crimes, including murder.”
During a five-year period between 2010-2015, it is believed that Sinyukov’s group murdered eight victims at the request of their clients.
