ARKADY SARGSYAN AND HIS CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH OLEG DERIPASKA
Who is Arkady Sargsyan and why is his partnership with Oleg Deripaska as crucial as his late friend Sergei Prikhodko from Nastya Rybka’s yacht. A lot has been written about Sargsyan's influence, but we won't debate that. Instead, we will highlight important moments in the business collaboration between Oleg Deripaska and Arkady Sargsyan.
Oleg Deripaska is surprised and upset about being included in the United States' sanctions list and their refusal to remove him. It's strange to be surprised about this, considering there are 10 valid reasons for imposing sanctions, all of which apply to Deripaska. His success story is linked to his relationships with the Boris Yeltsin Family and current Kremlin officials. His initial capital had shady origins with criminal figures like Anton Malevsky, Sergei Popov, and the Cherny brothers. It's no secret that Deripaska has a very close relationship with Arkady Sargsyan, who has been his right-hand man for many years, handling law enforcement and mafia-related issues. Sargsyan has a unique and sometimes violent way of solving problems, as seen with his involvement in helping Deripaska acquire assets and escape from criminal figures in the past. According to Rucriminal.info sources, Sargsyan is not opposed to reminiscing about the '90s. Recently, Deripaska lost a case in a London arbitration court, where former Deputy Finance Minister Vladimir Chernukhin accused him of hostile takeover of Trekhgornaya manufactory. It was Sargsyan, Deripaska's right-hand man, who personally orchestrated the raid and the removal of the head of Trekhgornaya manufactory's security. And this all happened not so long ago.
Veniamin Striga, a former editor-in-chief and director of the Sayan Television and Radio Company and Delovoy Sayanogorsk newspaper, shared detailed insights into how Deripaska and Sargsyan teamed up and their joint activities. Rucriminal.info has extracted interesting excerpts from Striga’s account: “Arkady Sargsyan met Oleg Deripaska, who is now a prominent figure, in the Kaliningrad port in the early '90s. At that time, Sargsyan already held influence in local circles connected to the port business. Later, Sargsyan claimed that he had helped Deripaska in delicate situations, which was not forgotten. Subsequently, the British company “Trans World Group” actively acquired shares of the Sayan aluminum plant in Sayanogorsk, led by Arkady Sargsyan as Alinvest's director. Criminal authority Vladimir Tatarenkov (Tatarin) provided the power support, and his associates pressured the shareholders of SaAZ. Since then, Sargsyan and Deripaska have been inseparable ….
Sarkisyan, Deripaska and a number of other people, 8 or 9 people. … organized the Sayany trading company … They took 12 billion on credit from the Sayany bank and, in fact, this money was not returned. By that time, they already owned a controlling stake in this prosperous bank, where there were many private investors and there were powerful investment programs there, including the Molybdenum Combine … i.e. this is a unique raw material, molybdenum, for Russia. Now we have lost this plant thanks to the actions of the same group: Deripaska, Sargsyan and others like them. They bankrupted the Sayany bank, scammed depositors, ruined an entire operating enterprise. A criminal case number 107648 was initiated about the facts of the bank’s deliberate bankruptcy and theft of money. An investigation was underway for almost three years. Investigators were changing, looking for almost 20 million dollars in dissolution …
The story of Pavel Brazhny, a former assistant to Sargsyan in the government of Khakassia, is interesting. The former militia worker of Sayanogorsk himself, on his own initiative (!?), went to give a bribe to the investigator who was in charge of the bankruptcy case of Sayany Bank. Sargsyan was a defendant in the case, so Brazhny decided to intercede for his boss, was caught red-handed, convicted, released early and sent to work at the Sameko enterprise of the already mentioned Siberian Aluminum group in Samara, and now he is becoming the head of the KrAZ security service ” .
In connection with the Deripaska-Sarkisyan connection, Striga also remembered such crimes as the murder of the heads of the Yugorsky bank Vadim Yafyasov and Oleg Kantor, the trade union leader of the Achinsk alumina refinery Yuri Smolentsev.
