The Main Investigations Directorate of the Russia’s Investigative Committee has finished investigating a criminal case against former deputy of the Krasnodar Territory Legislative Assembly Serbey Zirinov, Yevgeny Aleksandrovich, Karnik Aslanyan, Eduard Paladyan, Amar Suloyev, Anastas Tilgerov. Depending on the role of each one of them they are charged with crimes under parts 1-3 of article 209 of the RF Penal Code (banditry), paragraphs “a”, “f”, “g”, ”h”, ”j” of part 2 of article 105 (murder of two or more people committed out of mercenary motives by an organized group), part 3 of article 30, paragraphs “a”, “f”, “g”, ”h”, ”j” of part 2 of article 105 (attempted murder), parts 1 and 2 of article 209, article 222 (illegal circulation of firearms).
According to investigators, in 1999, Sergey Zirinov and Ambartsum Ayriyan set up a criminal group which at different time was joined by a court official Yevgeny Aleksandrovich, ex-police officer Igor Nekhayenko, Karnik Aslanyan, Eduard Paladyan, Amar Suloyev, Anastas Tilgerov, as well as Dmitry Sapozhnikov, Andrey Miroshnikov and others. Before 2013, in Krasnodar Territory members of the gang killed CEO of ZAO Sanatorium Malaya Bukhta and his wife, CEO of OOO Children Goods, attempted to kill deputy ataman of Anapa City Cossack Community and killed his driver. All the crimes were carefully planned, all the roles were clearly distributed between the perpetrators. The perpetrators used firearms and disguise.
The investigators have gathered enough evidence, so the criminal case with the approved indictment has been sent to court to be tried on the merits.
Earlier a court sentenced Miroshnikov and Sapozhnikov, who cooperated with the investigators, to 13 and 16 years in prison respectively.
At present activities are underway to locate and detain Eyriyan and Nekhayenko, who are on an international wanted list. In addition, the investigators are checking if the gangsters were involved in other crimes.
