Moscow: A RUSSIAN mobster is fighting for his life after a shooting in Moscow that has prompted fears of a new and bloody war between the Russian capital’s criminal gangs.
A sniper shot Vyacheslav Ivankov in the stomach at a range of less than 70 metres as he left a restaurant late on Tuesday.
The 69-year-old, who has served jail terms in Russia and the United States and is regarded as one of the biggest criminal godfathers in his homeland, underwent emergency surgery overnight and was in a critical condition yesterday.
Police confirmed they had found a high-powered rifle left in a van parked near the location of the shooting.
