Attorneys demand clarification of charges against businessman Samvel Mayrapetyan
Group of attorneys of businessman Samvel Mayrapetyan has presented few petitions to the prosecutor’s office and preliminary investigative body, requesting to clarify the accusation against Mayrapetyan.
Besides, the attorneys have appealed the ruling of Yerevan court on arresting Mayrapetyan and not applying bail for him.
“We do not understand the charge against our defendant this is why we have filed a petition for clarification,” attorney Alexander Sirunyan told Aysor.am, not specifying what kind of petitions they have filed.
Mayrapetyan has been accused of assistance to bribe. Chief of the Special Investigation Service Sasun Khachatryan said the criminal case dates back to 2008.
The attorney said Mayrapetyan has a grave disease (pancreatitis) which is not compatible with detention that is why a petition has been filed to change the preventive measure.
Sirunyan claimed that the criminal case against his defendant has no relation to either March 1 cases or any other political developments.
Mayrapetyan was arrested on October 10 for 2 months.
