Ruben Markaryan is not Levon Hayrapetyan’s lawyer anymore
Defense lawyer Samvel Karakhanyan will henceforth represent businessman Levon Hayrapetyan in Moscow court, Aysor.am learned from L. Hayrapetyan’s former lawyer Ruben Markaryan.
“I informed Levon Hayrapetyan that the court hearing in the case of another client, Hrachia Harutyunyan, is due on the same day as charges are expected to be brought against L. Hayrapetyan. Besides, because of my busy schedule – I earlier agreed to defend Rybinsk mayor Yuri Lastochkin – I cannot participate properly in the trial of L. Hayrapetyan and for this reason Samvel Karakhanyan will henceforth be his defense lawyer,” Markaryan said.
As was reported earlier, today Moscow investigators will bring charges against Armenian businessman Levon Hayrapetyan suspected of embezzlement and money laundering.
