Vladimir Gasparyan`s brother accused of threat of murder

ArmInfo. In the framework of the criminal case investigated in the Special Investigation Service of Armenia, the brother of the former Chief of the Police of Armenia,  Karen Gasparyan, was charged with the part of the first article of  the 137th RA Criminal Code ("Threat of murder, causing serious harm  to health or destruction of property").

The press service of the SIS informs that according to the  accusation, on July 8, 2018 between Karen Gasparyan and the resident  of Kotayk region Avetik Sargsyan, a dispute arose over the fact that  Sargsyan's daughter watered Gasparyan's car on Vardavar holiday.

Under the pretext of clarifying the circumstances of the incident and  reconciliation, Gasparyan on the same day called Sargsyan to his  cottage, located in the village of Kotayk, where, in the presence of  his son, his friends and other persons, he asked Sargsyan to  apologize on his knees. The latter, however, refused to comply with  this requirement. In order to take revenge on Sargsyan, Gasparyan  threatened to kill him from the weapons in his car. As a result,  Sargsyan yielded to Gasparyan's demand and, kneeling down, asked for  his forgiveness.  A written undertaking not to leave the country was  chosen as a measure of restraint in respect of Karen Gasparyan,. The  preliminary investigation continues.
