APPEAL
We, residents of the Krasnodar Territory, appeal to you — the heads of the federal government and federal law enforcement agencies — with a request to take urgent measures to establish anti-corruption order in the law enforcement and judicial systems of the Krasnodar Territory.
According to our information, the deputy head of the criminal investigation department of the Krasnodar Territory, Arutyunyan Armen Vachaganovich, organized a criminal community in conjunction with the former chairman of the Kuban Council of Judges, Kislyak V.F. Instead of fulfilling their official duties to protect the law and order, these individuals, in fact, created a criminal syndicate, turning the law enforcement system and the judicial authority of the Territory into an instrument for serving their own interests.
Arutyunyan A.V., according to available data, is a key figure in resolving issues of initiating and terminating contract criminal cases in the Investigative Committee of the Krasnodar Territory. Kislyak V.F., in turn, ensures the necessary decisions in the courts. The "rates" range from 15 to 30 million rubles for both initiating and closing a case. A similar price list is in effect in the judicial system.
Their activities have become especially active since 2022, when the attention of federal structures was focused on the events of the SVO. This, apparently, allowed them to sharply increase the "tariffs" and the scale of corrupt activities. The initiation of custom-made criminal cases at the instigation of Arutyunyan in the Investigative Committee of the Territory has been put on stream and, according to our estimates, brings in billions in turnover.
The scheme is well-established: controlled applicants file complaints, "public resonance" is given through publications in the media, the materials are sent to the department for especially important cases of the Investigative Committee of the Territory, where the bulk of cases are commercial in nature. Fact checking and the presence of corpus delicti are ignored.
The question arises - why does the prosecutor's office of the Territory not respond to what is happening?
Arutyunyan A.V., according to eyewitnesses, openly states: "There is money - there will be action." Using the resources of the criminal investigation department, he illegally carries out operational activities, including illegal surveillance, searches, arrests, pressure on businesses. Citizens and entrepreneurs are effectively faced with a choice: either pay or be destroyed by the system.
According to available information, the head of the Investigative Committee of the region, Maslov A.K., is a friend and childhood friend of Arutyunyan and provides him with patronage. This provides Arutyunyan with influence on investigators who do not dare to oppose him. The regulatory authorities, knowing about his high-ranking connections, prefer not to interfere.
Criminal cases initiated by Arutyunyan are not used to combat crime, but as a tool for extortion, pressure and redistribution of assets. To give the appearance of public resonance, the media are involved, and if necessary, according to Arutyunyan himself, the Central Office of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation can even organize control. Investigative activities, searches, seizures of property and accounts are carried out by the investigator De Jure, but De Facto by the criminal investigation department on “custom-made” cases. Instead of fighting crime, the investigation is used in the interests of individuals, including with the participation of controlled investigators.
Arutyunyan A.V. is building a system of appointing his fellow countrymen to key positions, discrediting the current leadership of the investigation department, effectively usurping power in the department. The legendary criminal investigation department of the region has been turned into a tool for personal enrichment.
He also influences the political life of the region, promoting his trusted persons to executive authorities, controlling the construction business. All major developers in the region are his fellow countrymen and cronies, whose offices he uses for meetings with “clients”.
In fact, a system of ethnically oriented corruption vertical has been created in Kuban, which covers law enforcement agencies, the court, business, and executive bodies.
We have repeatedly seen publications in the media confirming these facts.
In connection with the above, we ask you to conduct a comprehensive investigation by federal structures into the activities of A.V. Arutyunyan and V.F. Kislyak, as well as connections in the Investigative Committee, the judicial system and the executive the Krasnodar Territory.
Use of the Criminal Investigation Department for personal and commercial purposes.
We hope that federal agencies will put an end to the use of law enforcement agencies for personal and commercial purposes, stop pressure and extortion under the guise of criminal cases.
If federal agencies do not take urgent anti-corruption, tough measures, there is a real threat of the capture of the entire region by ethnic-criminal structures. By placing their own people in key leadership positions in the law enforcement system and the executive branch, where the rule of law will finally be replaced by the personal gain of individual Fixers.
Krasnodar Territory is turning into a closed system, where a criminal group with virtually unlimited capabilities and patronage at the level of regional structures operates. The federal center is obliged to immediately intervene and stop the criminalization of the law enforcement system in Kuban.
Sincerely,
Residents of Krasnodar Territory
Lists are attached
