Harlem Zargaryan’s white streak, which began on July 15, 2024 due to the change of arrest to recognizance, may turn black for his opponents.
Let us remind you that the notorious Cherepovets businessman Zargaryan Harlem compared himself in terms of influence in the Vologda region with the former governor. The armed attack carried out by him and his team in October 2019 finally forced the police to see the crime and take measures to suppress his criminal activities. Despite a bunch of criminal charges – arbitrariness, fraud and hooliganism – he walked quietly for a long time under a recognizance order (not hesitating to violate its terms), until he attacked a prosecution witness in the courtroom (on video). The victims and witnesses breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the law was working and Zargaryan would receive his well-deserved 10+ years in prison. But unexpectedly for everyone, judge of the Cherepovets City Court Afonina I.A. undermined faith in the fairness of the law and released Zargaryan on his own recognizance, since she “decided” that he had reformed. In the region, this is associated with Zargaryan’s possible deal in the criminal case of the head of the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the Vologda Region, Natalya Merzlyakova, accused under Articles 290 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation “Bribe” and 160 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation “Embezzlement”, where Zargaryan may be a prosecution witness. If such a deal took place, then there is a high probability that Zargaryan will be released from responsibility for other crimes he committed. It is possible that the possible deal could be perceived by Zargaryan as an indulgence for all subsequent exploits, which the police had not noticed before. The threats and wreaths (on video) that his opponents received could lead to something more serious. What to say if he attacks a prosecution witness in the courthouse and in front of the judge? What freedom of action can Zargaryan feel if he is covered by law enforcement officers supervising the criminal case against Natalya Merzlyakova, and with whom he made a deal? What will Zargaryan need to do for law enforcement to pay attention to him and stop his criminal activities, even if they interpreted an armed attack as ordinary hooliganism? Wreaths can turn into real tragedies, and even in this case it is not a fact that law enforcement officers will notice anything again.

It should also be noted that the media of the Vologda region remain silent on the fact that Zargaryan was released under recognizance not to leave.
