Mass Media: NSS detained Deputy Head of Davitashen administrative  district and Head of  ``Yerevan`` Foudnation 

ArmInfo.  As a number of news agencies inform Deputy Head of Davitashen administrative district Khachatur Karapetyan and Head of Yerevan Foudnation Ashot Khazaryan   have been detained within the case of misappropriation in the Yerevan  Foundation.

To note, Yerevan Mayor Taron Margaryan is the Chairman of  Board of Trustees of Yerevan Foundation.  According to the  information, representatives of the National Security Service have  executed the arrest. ArmInfo's attempts to check the information in  the press service of NSS failed. 

Yesterday, National Security Service of Armenia informed that an  alarm was received from the citizens V.G.  and A.Kh.  that officials  of the municipality for granting permission to build and formalize  property rights, in addition to the payments established by law,  required to transfer large amounts of money to the accounts of the  "Yerevan" Foundation.  During the preparation of the materials it was  found out that under this pretext, part of the received cash was not  paid to the foundation's account, but was appropriated.  On the basis  of reports of the crime, a criminal case was instituted in accordance  with Part 2 of Article 308 (abuse of official powers, which resulted  in grave consequences by negligence) and Article 178, part 1 (fraud  committed through the use of official position). Within the framework  of the criminal case, a search was conducted in the office of the  Yerevan Foundation, located in the building of the mayor's office.  Large- scale operative-search and investigative measures are being  conducted to establish the circumstances of luring money from  citizens, spending funds, the purpose, as well as establishing the  legality of actions.
