According to a statement from the Investigative Committee's press service, as a result of extensive investigative and procedural actions carried out during the preliminary investigation, it was established and confirmed that Kh.G., having conspired with two other individuals to commit large-scale theft of someone else's property through fraud, in order to strengthen public trust, posted advertisements on the internet and social media on behalf of BM MOTORS LLC regarding the import of BYD, Changan, and other automobiles from China and their sale in Armenia. To this end, the latter entered into contracts with citizens who contacted them with orders for the import of automobiles. Without any real intention of fulfilling the assumed obligations, they demanded, received, and fraudulently appropriated from 13 individuals an especially large sum of 78 million 352,210 drams as an advance payment for the automobiles between June and September 2024.
During the preliminary investigation, a criminal case was opened against three individuals for committing fraud on an especially large scale. As a preventive measure, the latter were arrested and placed on the wanted list. H.G., who committed fraud on an especially large scale in 13 episodes, was found in the Russian Federation. He was brought to the Republic of Armenia and presented to the body handling the case.
As a preventive measure, he was placed under house arrest, bail, and a travel ban.
The criminal case against Kh.G., along with the indictment, was sent to the supervisory authority with a motion for its approval and referral to the court for consideration on the merits.
