Levon Hayrapetyan's case is the result of a conflict between two
big businessmen, President of the Union of Armenians of Russia Ara
Abrahamyan told journalists in Yerevan on Monday.
He is sure that Hayrapetyan is not guilty. "We are glad that he is
now under house arrest and can receive necessary medical assistance,"
Abrahamyan said.
Hayrapetyan was arrested in Russia on July 16 on suspicion of
being privy to the activities of 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.
