MOSCOW — Colourful Russian-Israeli businessman Shabtai von Kalmanovic, a convicted spy who became owner of a top Moscow women's basketball team, was shot dead Monday in the Russian capital, prosecutors said.
Kalmanovic, who owned the internationally successful Spartak club, was killed in a drive-by shooting when unknown assailants with automatic rifles opened fire on his Mercedes, a statement issued by prosecutors said.
The businessman "was shot 20 times. He died at the scene" close to the famed Novodevichy Monastery in the centre of Moscow, the statement said. His driver was critically wounded and hospitalized.
