This staged murder photo was a key part of a ruse federal agents used to catch a Los Angeles developer suspected of plotting to kill two men.
Arthur Aslanian stands outside an apartment complex he owns during a fire this year.
After his arrest, Aslanian was ordered held without bail at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Los Angeles and the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Los Angeles had kept the photo of the staged murder under wraps as his case got underway.But that changed when Aslanian’s defense attorneys put together a multimillion-dollar bond package meant to secure his release as he awaited trial.
“The evidence clearly demonstrates that Mr. Aslanian was not the driving force behind the alleged conduct and that every time Mr. Aslanian called it off.... the Government pushed it forward,” wrote Aslanian’s attorneys Melanie Killedjian and Michael Freedman in a Nov. 16 bail memorandum.
