Residents of #Russia’s Far Eastern city of #Khabarovsk have continued to show their support for imprisoned former governor Sergey Furgal.
#Furgal, a highly popular politician in the Far East, was arrested on July 9 on suspicion of ordering two successful murders, and a third failed murder, dating back to the 2000s. Following his detainment, the former governor was flown immediately to Moscow, where he currently awaits his day in court.
