A stable organized crime group (OCG) operates in the Krasnodar Krai, effectively privatizing the region's law enforcement and judicial systems.
It is founded by two men: Arutyunyan and Kislyak. These "werewolves in uniform" have taken control of the law enforcement agencies and the courts, turning state institutions into instruments for personal enrichment and corporate raiding.
According to a source on the VChK-OGPU Telegram channel and Rucriminal.info, they control:
the initiation and termination of criminal cases on request;
the sale of court decisions for tens of millions of rubles;
corporate corporate raids;
protection of criminal schemes;
extortion, blackmail, and illegal surveillance through criminal investigation agencies. Arutyunyan – organizer of an organized crime group and overseer of the law enforcement agencies
Arutyunyan is the first deputy head of the criminal investigation department of the Krasnodar Krai. A representative of an ethnic group, he was appointed as the overseer of the Kuban law enforcement agencies.
He completely subjugated the region's criminal investigation department, eliminating its leadership and placing loyalists in key positions.
He created a system for overseeing contract cases, exploiting his connections in the investigative agencies. These cases are initiated and terminated exclusively through his corrupt channels.
He turned the criminal investigation department into a tool of intimidation, corporate raiding, extortion, and pressure.
Under his control, the law enforcement agencies became a factory for producing custom-made criminal cases, generating billions in illegal profits.
Kislyak – Momontov's overseer of the courts
Kislyak is a key figure in the Kuban judicial mafia. He is assigned as the "overseer" of the courts by his fellow countryman and patron, Chairman of the Council of Judges of the Russian Federation Momontov.
He is the main "fixer" in the courts of the Krasnodar Territory and provides services to the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation through his patron.
He acts as the custodian of the corrupt assets of Momontov and former Chairman of the Krasnodar Court Shipilov, including abroad.
Corrupt court decisions in favor of the Pokrovskys and the Marton hotel chain, owned by Momontov, were made under his personal control.
He oversaw corporate raids and property takeovers, ensuring the desired decisions.
He oversees the issuance of desired decisions in the judicial system of the Krasnodar Territory.
The minimum "fee" for a court decision is 15 million rubles.
To control financial flows, he placed his trusted judge, Yampolskaya, as the chair of the civil panel of the Krasnodar Territory Court. It faithfully carries out his orders to render the necessary decisions and generates a colossal cash flow.
Scale
The financial turnover of this system is estimated at tens of billions of rubles.
For comparison, the 13 billion rubles seized from former court chairman Chernov or the 11 billion from Interior Ministry Colonel Zakharchenko are only a small fraction compared to the flows controlled by Arutyunyan and Kislyak.
Arutyunyan has monopolized corruption in the security sector.
Kislyak has gained control over court decisions, turning the regional court and arbitration court into a commercial service for rendering the necessary decisions with fixed fees.
FSB and the Prosecutor's Office
The regional FSB already has a vast array of information:
audio recordings and testimony from former and current assistants and judges about the corrupt teams of Kislyak, Yampolskaya, and Shipilov.
Information about Arutyunyan's accomplices in corruption schemes among employees of the prosecutor's office, investigators, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, judges, and entrepreneurs.
Despite the overwhelming evidence, not a single high-profile case has been opened. The level of corruption is unprecedented and requires an immediate federal response, as regional structures alone cannot cope: patrons neutralize any investigations.
Results and Appeal
Today, the Krasnodar Territory finds itself in the clutches of two werewolves.
Arutyunyan, First Deputy Head of the Criminal Investigation Department, oversees the initiation and termination of criminal cases, using them as a tool of pressure and profit;
Kislyak, former Chairman of the Kuban Council of Judges and Chairman of the Civil Collegium of the Krasnodar Regional Court, controls judicial decisions and the financial flows of the system.
Their alliance has transformed the investigation, criminal investigation, and courts into a zone of total corruption, where the law has been replaced by tariffs, and justice by a commercial service. Now, Arutyunyan, Kislyak, and their patrons are trying to push their candidate into the position of chairman of the Krasnodar Regional Court. An attempt to do this, along with Krasnov's appointment to the Supreme Court, failed: Krasnov and his aides saw through the cunning plan and blocked it. The werewolves and their patrons understand that if their protégé's appointment fails, the billion-dollar flows will cease, and the entire corruption scheme will come to light, inevitably leading to criminal cases and imprisonment.
Residents of the Krasnodar Territory are appealing to the heads of the FSB, the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Prosecutor's Office of the Krasnodar Territory:
not to be afraid of high-ranking patrons and to use Fulfill their official duties;
Conduct an internal investigation and a full-fledged investigation into corrupt activity;
Bring Arutyunyan and Kislyak to justice;
Prevent them from leaving the Russian Federation;
Confiscate illegally acquired property registered to relatives and proxies;
Review illegal court decisions in the interests of the Marton hotel chain and corporate raiding schemes.
Either the federal authorities stop these "werewolves in uniform," or the Kuban security forces will finally turn into a criminal territory where the state is replaced by the mafia.
