During a special operation in Tallinn the Estonian police arrested Russian citizen Mikhail Krishyan who is wanted by Interpol on suspicion of organizing a murder.

On Saturday the court took Krishyan into custody while granting an approval for Russian law-enforcement bodies to arrest him, Russian news agency Interfax reports.

Russian police have been searching for the St. Petersburg resident since the end of 2011 because he is suspected of killing the owner of the company 'Pulkovo-3', Mikhail Karachev, on May 7, 2010. Krishyan was assisted by two men who beat the businessman to death, the preliminary investigation showed.

According to Russian media Krishyan is also suspected of killing Russia's known antiquary Arkadi Tulchin in 2003.
