ArmInfo. The court hearing for the case of Prosperous Armenia Party leader and businessman Gagik Tsarukyan is scheduled for October 15, according to a report from the DataLex judicial information system.
According to the source, the case will be heard by Judge Manvel Shahverdyan of the Yerevan Court of General Jurisdiction.
As a reminder, according to the indictment, Gagik Tsarukyan is accused of committing crimes under several articles of the Criminal Code relating to fraud, extortion, and money laundering. Also charged in this case are the head of the Multi Group concern, Sedrak Arustamyan and seven others.
The Investigative Committee believes that Tsarukyan and others falsified customs declarations and documents, resulting in significant damage to the state or the entities involved (including instances of theft of property worth approximately 8.1 billion drams). On July 7, 2026, a Yerevan court ordered Gagik Tsarukyan's pretrial detention for two months. The politician's defense attempted to appeal the decision.
In October 2026, the Compulsory Enforcement Service of Armenia, based on decisions of the Anti-Corruption Court, imposed a large-scale seizure of property and assets associated with Tsarukyan. Approximately 29 real estate properties, 33 vehicles, and 488 units of movable property were seized. A separate ban on changes in ownership was imposed on Tsarukyan's properties in the coastal area of Lake Sevan. Seizures have also been placed on Tsarukyan's shares in 27 different companies, as well as on the shares and stocks of 40 legal entities associated with him.
