Hrachia Harutyunian decides to refuse his lawyers’ services
Hrachia Harutyunian charged with causing the road accident near Podolsk, Russia, has made a decision to refuse services of his lawyers Alexander Maltsev, Eric Chabanov, and Valdimir Sviridov, according to ‘Moskovski Komsomolets’ newspaper.
Alexander Maltsev explained that to all appearances, that decision was taken after Harutyunian’s meeting with Armenian Ombudsman Karen Andreasian.
One of the conditions for continuation of the three lawyers’ services was that the Union of Russian Armenian shall pay 1 million rubles to the family of each killed person and 500,000 rubles to each injured person.
Famous lawyer Ruben Margarian and his team will henceforth act as H. Harutyunian’s defense lawyers in the court.
