Former chairman of SRC Gagik Khachatryan to remain in custody
The Court of Appeal chaired by the judge Rubik Mkhitaryan denied the petition of the lawyers of former chairman of Armenia’s State Income Committee Gagik Khachatryan to release their defendant.
Khachatryan is charged for embezzlement in particularly large amount. He has also been involved in other case examined by the NSS and is charged for abuse of power and embezzlement in particularly large amount.
The two criminal cases with his involvement are examined in one proceeding.
His nephew Karen Khachatryan is also arrested in the sidelines of this criminal case.
Earlier his lawyer Yerem Sargsyan stated that his defendant does not admit the accusations.
