The charge against Radchenko is that since 1992 till July 2009 he has been being a member of the organized criminal group (criminal association), called "Trunov's gang", which had been created and headed by citizens of Novosibirsk Trunov, Elkin, Kornienko and Zelentsov. 

On instructions of Trunov and Radchenko members of the gang killed persons, who were undesirable for them, as well as persons, who confronted with the criminal association (criminal organization) and committed other serious and extremely serious crimes. 

The gang was armed with firearms, illegally purchased by Radchenko and its other members in different places and at different times, and they used it for attacks against people and for murders. 

According to the investigation, Radchenko, acting as a member of the gang, participated in four murders and three attempted murders during the period 1997-2004. During the period since 1994 till the mid of August 1998 Radchenko together with other members extorted money and other material goods from entrepreneur D. due to division of influence spheres at Gusinobrodsky market of Novosibirsk, participated in demonstrative beating of members of the so-called "Pervomayskaya criminal gang", causing bodily harm of various degrees, in a public place. He gave a bribe in the form of property benefit, amounting to 355,739 rubles, to an official - one of the heads of FDCS for Novosibirsk Oblast for commitment of acts known to be illegal, namely for systemic provision of results of operational and search activity in the form of information about private life of members of the criminal association, who withdrew membership of the association, about their phone conversations and other information about their private life to members of the organized criminal group (criminal association) during the period since 10.03.2005 till 31.03.2006, he also committed theft by swindling on a very large scale in relation to property, which belonged to the former member of the gang.
