One of the most notorious names in organized crime in the former Soviet Union is the man who was arrested on the island of Crete for the second time in about ten days. He was ultimately taken to Agia prison on the basis of an Interpol warrant, Kathimerini reported.

The so-called "Armenis" is believed to have had significant influence in the past on organized crime in Moscow, but also in areas such as Crimea—mainly in Yalta—as well as in Nizhny Novgorod.

The 64-year-old man was identified in mid-August by the Chania police department in possession of two weapons, ammunition, and 30 grams of cannabis, and he had a Ukrainian passport.

After the official procedure was followed, he was initially released, but it was later revealed that the detainee's passport had raised suspicions and his case took on much deeper dimensions. | BGNES
