Dmitry Popkov was reportedly found dead in a traditional Russian bathhouse. Police discovered several gunshot wounds on the body of the 42-year-old journalist.
Popkov founded the local Ton-M newspaper after he was stripped of his position on the Minusinsk City Council in 2012.after a court found him guilty of beating a child.
Popkov has at all times maintained his innocence, claiming that the case was an excuse to remove him from politics. The Ton-M newspaper had previously been subject to police raids.
The publication is being published under the motto “We are breaking the silence” or we write what others omit or stay silent about.
