Individual entrepreneurs who acted as insurance intermediaries turned out to be former employees of Nairi Insurance, as well as other persons interconnected with the company. The latter did not actually carry out insurance activities, but in their names, as a commission for intermediary services for concluding insurance contracts, Nairi Insurance transferred amounts on a particularly large scale. "As a result in its report for 2016-2017, Nairi Insurance included those transfers for intermediary services in expenses, thereby reducing the taxable income in the relevant amount, which, according to preliminary calculations, caused 200 million drams damage to the state (without fines and penalties) ", the statement of the SRC reads. Based on the fact, a criminal case has been initiated in the RA Police Department on grounds of part 2, Article 205 (evasion of taxes, duties, or other obligatory payments) of the Criminal Code of Armenia.
