We continue to explore the criminal world of southern Russia. Today we will talk about the deputy of the Legislative Assembly of the Rostov region, a businessman, a member of the Forbes list (83rd place) Harutyun Surmalyan. Details of his appearance of capital in a joint investigation of Rucriminal.info, the telegram channels of the Cheka-OGPU and The Crime Planet.

According to our sources, Surmalyan began his career by helping to launder money from the Selmashevskaya organized crime group and its leader Andrei Imanali (Half-Beast). Gangsters trusted Surlmalyan, organized crime assets were recorded on the structures controlled by him. And then, unexpectedly, the leaders of the “Selmashevskaya” group began to go to jail. And it was Surmalyan who benefited from this. And he jumped under the wing of the “thief in law” Armen Harutyunyan (Armen Kanevsky), but here he failed. In Rostov-on-Don, there was one of the powerful groups of “Wolves”, whose members had nationalist views and were members of the Russian National Unity (RNE). "Wolves" did not allow Harutyun Surmalyan to develop. Moreover, they used their resources and began to “nightmare” Surmalyan. And soon in the bath they tried to undermine all the leaders of the “Wolves”.

 According to the source, Surmalyan had a close friend Ara Arsenyan, they were friends of families, celebrated all the holidays, birthdays together and were business partners. And then it seemed to Surmalyan that in their partnership with Arsenyan the incomes were not correctly distributed. And Arsenyan was shot dead by killers. Behind all these attempts there was a trace of the organized criminal group of Armen Kanevsky, who protected the interests of the ward of Surmalyan. After Kanevsky’s death in prison for health reasons, his brother Artyom Harutyunyan accepted his case. Artyom Harutyunyan was put on the wanted list in Russia for a series of murders and attempts. He is currently in Yerevan. And his confidant in communication with Surmalyan is Grisha Kiyan. Grisha has two brothers - Karen and Armen-staff killers under Harutyunyan. The brothers were internationally wanted, then detained, but for mysterious reasons were free. Sources believe that Surkhalyan’s help was not enough. Since Grisha and his brothers Armen and Karen Kiyan came to the attention of law enforcement agencies, Harutyunyan appointed Vagan Nerkararyan (Karlik) as the new confidant in communication with Surmalyan. Surmalyan was against such a linker, but Karlik presented a number of interesting films on which it was recorded how Surmalyan asked Harutyunyan about various services, including those related to Ara Arsenyan. After this, Surmalyan realized that he would not succeed in getting rid of Harutyunyan and Karlik and the partnership continued. The partnership is specific, as Vagan Nerkararyan (Karlik) was involved in the smuggling of cigarettes, drugs and weapons from Ukraine. Later, when the people of thief in law Nodar Asoyan began to impede the activities of Vagan Nerkararyan, Karlik found a new patron in the person of thief in law Eluard Asatryan (Osetrin). According to the source, Artyom Harutyunyan and Vagan Nerkararyan (Karlik) insisted on meeting Surmalyan by Eduard Asatryan (Osetrina). What Surmalyan categorically refused.

Now we will list the attempts in connection with which the name of Surmalyan “surfaced” in the materials of the operatives:
