Criminal case against son-in-law of PAP leader sent to court

ArmInfo. A criminal case against Karapet Guloyan, son-in-law of Prosperous Armenia Party leader Gagik Tsarukyan, has been sent to the competent court of  Armenia. This was reported in a statement by the press service of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Republic of Armenia, which  clarified that the supervising prosecutor approved the indictment.

The Prosecutor General's Office reports that the prosecutor has  opened a public criminal case against K.G.  for committing illegal  actions with confiscated property. The department recalled that,  among other things, on May 12, 2026, based on a final decision on the  confiscation of illegally acquired property, the Republic of Armenia  registered ownership of 91 percent of the property of former Kotayk  Governor and former head of the Abovyan community, Karapet Guloyan,  and his wife, Roza Tsarukyan, located in the village of Arinj in the  Kotayk region. The criminal case documented that K.G. was notified  that the Anti-Corruption Court had applied a precautionary  measure-seizure-in the event of the confiscation of illegally  acquired property, and the court prohibited any actions related to  the disposal of this property. However, Karapet Guloyan organized  damage to the exterior and interior walls of the residential  building, as well as the basement walls. Specifically, he organized  the dismantling of the exterior and interior roof tiles of the  residential building, the removal of doors and windows, and damaged  the interior finishes of the building, including electrical wiring,  interior wall and ceiling finishes, and parquet flooring. He also  damaged the courtyard pool and roofing. As a result of these actions,  the state suffered at least 229 million drams in damages.

On June 10, 2026, by decision of the Kotayk Regional Court of First  Instance, K.G. was placed under house arrest for one month and  released on bail in the amount of 20 million drams. The prosecutor  will file a lawsuit seeking compensation for damages caused to the  state.
