The victim in this case paid 5 million rubles to become the hero of the show, but never got on TNT.
Yang filed a fraud report a few months ago. The man told the police that he somehow met a certain Aren Virabyan, who said that he worked at Comedy and knew everyone there. After some time, Aren invited Jan to become the hero of the show “The Bachelor”. To approve the candidacy of a man, 10 million rubles were needed. Yang transferred half of the amount right at the Comedy office, but then nothing happened – the man was simply thrown.
Initially, Aren was the main suspect, but the man testified against one of the founders of Comedy, Tash Sargsyan. According to Virabyan, he promised to approve the candidacy, but simply took the money and did not return it. According to the source of “Baza”, now law enforcement officers have no complaints against Virabyan – only questions to Tash. True, it will not be possible to ask them in person: Sargsyan does not live in Russia.
Tash denies all allegations. “I have absolutely no idea what is going on. I hope that the law enforcement officers, together with Aren, will resolve all issues,” Sargsyan told Baza.
The other day, Andrey Levin, CEO of the Comedy Club, testified in this case (in the video, he is just leaving the investigators). Levin’s lawyer Mikhail Mushailov declined to comment.
Investigators involved in the case of fraud in the show “The Bachelor” are going to interrogate the entire color of the Comedy Club. Garik Kharlamov, Timur Batrudinov, Garik Martirosyan, Alexander Revva and founder Artur Dzhanibekyan are waiting for interrogation. However, the fraud itself has nothing to do with it.
During the investigation, the investigators studied the correspondence of Aren Virabyan and learned a lot of new things. The man was organizing concerts for Comedy residents – he negotiated prices with venues, dealt with ticket sales. However, these concerts did not always correspond to the declared ones: the organizers announced stars of the level of Kharlamov and Batrutdinov, and as a result, completely different, less well-known artists performed.
So far, investigators are investigating these episodes. During interrogations, Martirosyan, Kharlamov and other Comedy stars should just clarify the situation.
