Mafia king’s murder will spur chaos, says crime fiction writer

The murder of Ded Hassan (Aslan Usoyan), the mafia boss killed in Moscow earlier today, is likely to create a chaos in the criminal world, according an Armenian crime fiction writer.

Speaking to Tert.am, publicist and criminal expert Sergey Galoyan explained that warlike situations in the criminal world often cause the defeated side to use weapons. “If one side is defeated in the criminal world, it starts resorting to gun. And the winning side begins protecting its achievements with the use of weapons, so we are likely to see more bloodsheds,” he said.

Galoyan, who is the author of about 30 crime books, noted that the bilateral war between the Georgian and Slavonic criminal worlds had begun back in 2008. He said Ded Hasan’s death could provide an answer to certain questions in the Georgians’ favor.

“That’s a struggle first of all for the construction of the Sochi Olympic facilities which have attracted investments of over 80 billion Rubles. And the Georgians wish to take that under control,” he said.

Galoyan believes Ded Hasan’s murder may also spur certain unrest in the Armenian criminal world given the ethnic Yuzid mafia king also had connections with the Armenian notorieties.

“Murders are perhaps possible in Armenia, but we do not almost have criminal world representatives here. The powerful figres are in Russia. So the fight against the Armenians will gain a new momentum,” said the writer.

Galoyan doesn’t rule out the possibility of political re-arrangements but he isn’t inclined to think the murder was politically motivated. “There’s no political motive here. An instruction by the Russian criminal world is also ruled out. The order could have come mainly from Georgia,” he noted.

The crime writer is sure that Ded Hassan’s closest criminal circles will revenge his death sometime in the near future.
