He was found guilty of occupying the highest position in the criminal hierarchy, robbery and extortion. The case file spoke of his connections with the Moldovan businessman and politician Vladimir Plahotniuc.

The VChK-OGPU reported that Turk at some point went to court. The main condition of which was to give detailed testimonies about the circumstances of granting him the status of “thief in law” in 2013 and about the actions and decisions that he made while occupying this position, from the moment of his coronation to the present. The Turk was ready to “merge” his senior comrades, who assigned him a high-profile criminal title. But Andrei Vybornov, deputy head of the investigative department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, refused at the last moment with the wording “we do not agree with the thieves.” This greatly upset the employees of the MUR and the FSB, who could immediately slap 12 crime bosses.
