Court extends jail term of SRC former chairman Gagik Khachatryan
The court has extended the jail term of Armenia’s former State Revenue Committee chairman, former finance minister Gagik Khachatryan, attorney Yerem Sargsyan told the reporters.
“As we expected the bail motion has been rejected and the motion of investigators to extend the arrest upheld,” Sargsyan said, adding that the decision was expected.
“Naturally we will appeal it,” the attorney said, adding that their defendant has health issues.
“His health condition is really bad, all the necessary medical documents for setting him free exist. It is a fact that he must be immediately released,” the attorney said.
Khachatryan is charged for big amount of embezzlement, abuse of power.
