Haykakan Zhamanak: Criminal case opened against Gyumri ex-mayor
A criminal case was opened yesterday against ex-mayor of Gyumri Vardan Ghukasian based on an application of lawyer Lusine Sahakian, Chief of Gyumri police Karen Babakekhian told reporters. Vardan Ghukasian will be called to account not because in the courthouse he beat up the father of the defendant in the case of his future son-in-law’s murder, but because of offensive language he used during the trial.
Ms. Lusine Sahakain told the correspondent of ‘Haykakan Zhamanak’ daily that she asked to open a criminal case under the article on ‘contempt of court’, which was accompanied by insults at trial participants. No complaint about beating was filed.
