A criminal case opened on high-ranking official`s illegal enrichment  fact 

ArmInfo. The Investigative Committee of the Republic of Armenia initiated a criminal  investigation into the illegal enrichment of a high-ranking official. The facts are revealed as a result of inspections in the restaurant complex "Yans".  As the press service of Investigative Committee of Republic of Armenia reported, the criminal case, which is in the production of the Yerevan Investigation Department, obtained data on illegal enrichment, the submission of false data in declarations or concealment of data subject to declaration.

The Office recalls that earlier information was provided that for a  comprehensive verification of the data obtained in the criminal case  on the alleged abuse of alleged misuse by the accountant of LLC  "Selena", on June 20 and 21, searches were conducted on the territory  of the restaurant complex "Yans", as well as the place of residence  of the director of LLC "Selena" S. Karapetyan, the actual owner of  "Selena" R.  Beglaryan and in her garage.

As a result, in the place of residence of the actual owner of Selena  LLC R. Beglaryan, the amount was found in especially large amounts -  35 million AMD, 1,104,400 USD and 230,500 EUR, and in the garage - 2  thousand USD, the clock "Franck Muller "in the number of two pieces,  one car brands" Range Rover "and" Mercedes-Benz."

The investigation found that the husband of R. Beglaryan-V. Kazaryan  (Vache Ghazaryan, who was the first deputy head of the state security  service in the days of Serzh Sargsyan), according to the official  website of the Ethics Commission of Senior Officials, June 17, 2008  to May 17, 2018 by a high-ranking official, was obliged in accordance  with the law of the Republic of Armenia "On Public Service", in  accordance with the procedure provided by law, to submit to the  Ethics Commission high- residents of the declaration of property and  income. However, in the declarations of both V. Ghazaryan and his  wife R.  Beglaryan, there are no notes on the above-mentioned money  found during the search in especially large amounts and costly  things.

Thus, the evidence obtained in the criminal case presumably contains  the signs of crimes provided for in Article 310.1 ("Increase in the  reporting period of property and (or) reduction of obligations of a  person having an obligation to submit declarations that are essential  under the Republic of Armenia Law" On Public Service " exceed their  legal revenues and are not substantiated by them, and if there are no  other signs of a crime that are grounds for illegal enrichment") and  part 2 of Article 314.3 ("Introducing ix false data in the  declarations or concealment of data, subject to declaration, which  resulted in evasion of declaration of assets or income in a large  scale") of RA Criminal Code.

"Taking into account the fact that the revealed new data are not  related to the crimes accused by the accused in the criminal case  being investigated, a new criminal case was initiated by the  investigator for particularly important cases of the Investigation  Department in Yerevan under Article 310.1 of the RA Criminal Code and  Part 2 of Article 314.3", noted in the message of the UK. At the same  time, it was decided to send a criminal case to the Prosecutor's  Office of the Republic of Armenia for transferring it to  investigative authorities.
