Neo-Nazis Convicted

The Moscow City Court has handed long sentences to three members of a neo-pagan ultranationalist cult for hate killings and bombings targeting labor migrants from Central Asia and the Caucasus.

The trio killed 10 people and arranged bombings at a Russian Orthodox church, a McDonald’s restaurant and a railway station that left one woman wounded in 2008 and 2009, the court said in a statement Wednesday.

It said two of the defendants were underage and received sentences of eight and nine years. The third was over 18 and got a 21-year sentence.
