As many as 11,000 people in Armenia, Nagorno-Karabakh and the Diaspora
have signed a call on the Armenian President to ask his Russian
counterpart during the planned meeting in Sochi to change the
preventive measure against Armenian businessman Levon Hayrapetyan, who
was detained on July 15 and is supposed to be kept in custody for two
months despite poor health.
On Aug 13 a court in Moscow is supposed to consider a petition to
review the preventive measure against Hayrapetyan.
Levon Hayrapetyan is suspected of being privy to the notorious
Kingisep criminal group. The Russian special services are currently
investigating the case of Sergey-Finagin's Kingisepp group, which
together with Alexander Matusov's Schelkovo gang, is believed to have
done a number of contract killings first for businessman Georgy
Safiyev (killed in the United States) and then for former Senator Igor
Izmestyev (who is now in jail for life). And it was Izmestyev who said
that Hayrapetyan was privy to some of the killings, particularly,
those related to the Bashneft oil company.
