Driver-assassin squad of the “Antiquarian”: a captured former chauffeur reveals Ilya Traber’s methods of eliminating unwanted individuals

An excerpt from an interview conducted by Ukrainian blogger Dmitry Karpenko with captured criminal Igor Lykov has been published.

It was then that he first stated that he knew a lot about how Ilya Traber (Antique Dealer) and his “right hand” Vladimir Danilenko “ordered” the murder of deputy Alexander Petrov.
 
According to Lykov, he served time with Danilenko and, at Danilenko’s request, beat up a penal colony officer who was interfering with Danilenko in a dark place (without cameras). When Lykov was released, Danilenko, in gratitude, hired him as a driver for his "team" with Traber. The drivers were criminals, whom Danilenko sometimes offered to carry out murders.

Lykov claims to have witnessed and has information about Petrov’s murder. Lykov was then arrested for fraud (he blames Traber for this), received a long sentence, signed a contract in the penal colony, and went off to war, where he was captured. While in captivity, he gave this interview and was later exchanged to Russia, where he later became a witness in the Petrov murder case.
