ArmInfo. The nephew of the third president of Armenia, Hayk Sargsyan, tried to flee to France, but was discovered by law enforcers at the Zvartnots airport in Yerevan and subjected to a drive. This is reported by the Police of Armenia.
Subsequently, in the case of Sargsyan, the court elected arrest as a preventive measure. He was arrested right in the courtroom.
To note, Hayk Sargsyan is accused of assassination of David Simonyan in 2007. Initially, the case was terminated due to the victim's testimony. But recently the victim appeared in the investigative body and gave new testimony, as a result of which the case was resumed. However, Sargsyan's lawyers claim that the case was fabricated, as evidenced by the inconsistency of the victim's testimony with the facts of the investigation. In particular, the victim asserts that Sargsyan shot him from a distance of 1.5 m into the stomach. Meanwhile, the results of the investigation showed that Simonyan was shot from a distance of 30 cm and in the back.
