The murder case committed with extreme cruelty 17 years ago in Tbilisi
has been solved, Rustavi 2 reported.
As a result of the joint operative activities of the Anti Corruption
Department of the Prosecutor's Office and Special Operative Department
of the Interior Ministry of Georgua, one of the most dangerous criminal
groups, which operated in 1990s, has been revealed.
Three members of the group have been detained, three others are wanted
and one of them died few years ago.
The group members were aware that Nshan Minansian was rich and
therefore, with the intent of money extortion they kidnapped his 19
year old son, Vazgen Minasian on January 18, 1994 demanding a ransom
of USD 150 000. Criminals kept the hostage in a hole for 10 days and
afterwards he was taken to one of the apartments in Dighomi district.
Vazgen Minasian was released after criminals received USD 15 000 on
condition that family members would pay the rest of the demanded sum
in few days.
However under the fear to be disclosed members of the criminal group
murdered Nshan Minasian, his wife, Flora Minasian and their son
Vazgen Minasian.
Investigation is underway to reveal other grave crimes committed by
the group.
