A top Russian judge described as “unusually independent-minded and incorruptible” involved in high-profile cases was killed in the Crimea bridge explosion, it has emerged.
In a dramatic new twist it appears a black Cadillac belonging to judge Sergey Maslov, 42, was next to a truck which - until now - has been seen as being at the epicentre of the explosion.
The judge, who had investigated family members of Putin’s cronies as well as energy company Gazprom, which has close links to the oligarch - died in Saturday’s blast on the £3.3 billion bridge, reports newspaper Moskovsky Komsomolets (MK).
