SURPRISE IN COURT
Support A1+!Pargev Ohanyan, judge of First Instance Court of Kentron and Nork Marash Communities, did not deliver the anticipated judgment proposing to recommence the court proceedings. The case concerns proceedings taken against the president of the “Royal Armenia” company Gagik Hakobyan and the vice president Aram Ghazaryan. They are blamed in smuggling and in avoiding carrying out tax and customs duties. The prosecutors demanded to sentence Gagik Hakobyan to 12 years of imprisonment, confiscation of 1/3 of property and to sentence Aram Ghazaryan to 11 years of imprisonment. The delay of the sentence Mr Ohanyan motivated that the investigation should be supplemented, i.e. accounting and economic observations should be examined additionally.
