Wadan Yards’ ex-owner gunned down in Moscow
Former owner of the German shipyard Wadan Yards Adnrei Burlakov has reportedly been killed in Moscow. His business partner Anna Etkin has been hospitalized, the Russian Investigative Committee said.
According to investigators, on September 29, 2011 an unidentified man fired at least five shots at the businessman and the woman in a local restaurant and then fled. Burlakov died later in the hospital from gunshot wounds. The investigation into the case is underway, the police said.
Wadan Yards formed in July 2008 as a result of the buyout deal by FLC West, owned by a group of Russian investors, of part of the assets of Aker Yards, including three shipyards - two in Germany (Wismar and Warnemünde), one in Ukraine (Nikolayev plant "Ocean") and two design offices and two engineering centers.
