Murder of a Blablacar driver
On April 4, 2016, Lviv resident Taras Poznyakov decided to go to Kiev in his own Audi-A6 car to find a job. Using the Blablacar app, he planned a trip with two men.
As the investigation will find out later, the driver never made it to the capital. His car was accidentally found in the Kiev-Svyatoshinsky district.
In August of the same year, one of the men traveling in the car, 25-year-old Taras Poznyakov, was detained. For a long time, he, a former fighter of the Right Sector Dmitry Golub, was in jail.
Another man turned out to be a citizen of Russia. In March 2019, he died in an explosion in an apartment on Nauki Avenue in Kiev.
In May 2019, the Kiev-Svyatoshinsky court found Dmitry Golub guilty of the murder of Taras Poznyakov. The verdict was passed by the jury and the judges.
In the summer of 2021, the Kiev Court of Appeal upheld the sentence of the first instance court to Dmitry Golub in the form of life imprisonment.
