A Moscow trial exposes one of Russia’s most brutal criminal gangs — the “Black Realtors.” For nearly a decade, they kidnapped and starved lonely pensioners, forcing them to sign over their apartments before leaving them to die. With fake lawyers, forged heirs, and even ex‑policemen on their payroll, the group made over 240 million rubles. This episode reveals how greed, corruption, and indifference turned real estate into murder.
