They are on trial in a military court in Baku, accused of war crimes dating back decades.Vardanyan, a 56-year-old Russian-Armenian entrepreneur, is facing 42 charges including planning and waging war, mercenary activities and terrorism.

A picture of him in court appeared to show bruises on his forehead and there have been allegations of torture, denied by Azerbaijan which insists his rights have been respected in custody.It marks a dramatic downfall for a man who made his fortune in Russia and once rubbed shoulders with celebrities such as George and Amal Clooney.He set up Russia's first investment bank back in the early 1990s, and as founder of the country's prestigious business management school "Skolkovo" he enjoyed the reputation of a progressive visionary, a Western-friendly voice in Russia's business community in the 2000's.

But a 2019 investigation by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project said that employees of his investment bank built a financial system laundering billions of dollars in the mid-2000s.Vardanyan denied being aware of any criminal activities, and was never legally charged.

He spent hundreds of millions of dollars on philanthropic projects in Armenia, and transformed a quiet town in the snow-capped mountains in the north of the country, setting up a school with the aim of attracting students from all over the world.

"This school was imagined as an institution that would bring Armenia to the world and the world to Armenia," says Adam Armanski, the principal of the United World Colleges (UWC) of Dilijan."We heard that ICE came to a building not far from me," said Carlos, whose son is a US citizen born in New York.

Like Gabriela, Carlos was initially cautiously optimistic about Trump's electoral win and thought he would indirectly benefit from Trump's promises to boost the economy and lower inflation."It's scary. I've been avoiding being out on the street more than I need to," he added. "I don't have a problem with criminals being arrested. But we keep hearing that other people - workers - are also being taken away."

Both Gabriela and Carlos asked to be identified only by their first names, fearing retribution or attention from authorities.It is unclear how many of those arrested have criminal histories and how many are what have been what the first Trump administration termed "collateral" arrests.
