ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The second suspicious death at top Russian bank VTB within a month is provoking new concern about a return to a culture of lawlessness and contract killings in Moscow’s business world.
The body of Alexander Funin, 43, with a bullet wound to the head, was found in the bathroom of his apartment in south-western Moscow.
As with a killing earlier this month, police quickly ruled out murder, before apparently allowing sufficient time for detailed investigations.
Such quick “conclusions” are themselves fuelling suspicions in Moscow about a cover-up of a new wave of contract killings in banks.”
