Attorneys of 3d president Serzh Sargsyan’s chief bodyguard file petition to release Ghazaryan on bail

Attorneys of chief bodyguard of Armenia’s third president Serzh Sargsyan, Vachagan Ghazaryan, have submitted a petition to the Yerevan court of general jurisdiction to release their defendant on bail.

Attorney Armen Harutyunyan told Aysor.am that the investigative body has submitted a petition to prolong the arrest for another two months but the examination of the petition has been postponed.

“Few judicial processes are to take place and we, in our turn, filed petitions. Only after their examination the petition of the investigative body will be examined,” Harutyunyan said.

Earlier Aysor.am has reported that the Court of Cassation upheld the complaint of the deputy prosecutor general and changed the prevention measure from release on bail to arrest.

Vachagan Ghazaryan is charged with illegal enrichment and money laundering. He was released on bail amounting to 1 billion AMD.
