It is necessary to hold a protest action in front Russia's Embassy in
Armenia to support Levon Hayrapetyan, and to demand immediate changing
of the pre-trial restrictions regarding him, a businessman Vahagn
Hovnanyan said at today's press-conference.
He said that Hayrapetyan's health status does not allow keeping him in
custody, and the Russian court had to take this into consideration.
"Moreover, Hayrapetyan is such a good and kind man that such an
attitude regarding him is simply inadmissible. We have to hold a
protest action in front Russia's Embassy in Armenia to support Levon
Hayrapetyan, and to demand immediate changing of the pre-trial
restrictions regarding him", he said.
To remind, the Russian special services have detained one of the
richest Armenian businessmen in the world Levon Hayrapetyan on
suspicion of being privy to the notorious "Kingisep" criminal group.
According to Rosbalt, Hayrapetyan was detained on Tuesday upon
arriving in Moscow from his home in Monaco. Shortly the investigators
are planning to petition the Basmanny Court to arrest the businessman.
They 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 Levon Hayrapetyan was privy to some of the
killings, particularly, those related to the Bashneft oil company.
