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.
