ARZUMANYAN WAS HANDED TO RUSSIAN LAW-ENFORCEMENT BODIES

Politics

The Armenian ex-foreign minister Alexander Arzumanyan was set free on September 6 after the investigative group was back from the Russian Federation.

Yesterday the investigative group submitted the material to the RA Prosecutor General Aghvan Hovsepyan.

Thus, our law-enforcement bodies found their work finished and turned to their Russian counterparts for help.

As the judicial hearing can be delayed, the RA Prosecutor General preferred to change the restraint as Arzumanyan can no longer prevent the preliminary investigation. The preventive punishment is Alexander Arzumanyan’s signature not to leave Armenia.

To remind, Alexander Arzumanyan detained for about 4 months at the National Security Service jail was charged with “money laundering.” A week ago the pre-investigative body appealed to the court to prolong the arrest for two months. The court upheld the claim.
