Mafia boss who escaped from prison and hid in Azerbaijan has died

Viktor Avdyshev, the USSR champion in Greco-Roman wrestling and former head of the Kiev organized crime group, has died.

According to Lent.az, the 69-year-old Avdyshev died of heart failure. He was a bronze medalist at the World Championships in 1978 and 1983.
