ArmInfo. Three employees of the State Revenue Committee (SRC) of Armenia are accused of receiving a bribe on a large scale.

In particular, as reported by the press service of the Police of  Armenia, on October 22, employees of the anti-economic crime and  corruption control department of the Armenian Police General  Directorate for Combating Organized Crime in the implementation of  operational information at the time of receiving a bribe of 1 million  drams detained the deputy head 10th department of inspections of  inspection- management of small taxpayers of SRC Samson Arakelyan. On  the suspicion of extortion and bribery, the head of the same  department, Suren Eloyan and the inspector Vagharshak Lalayan, were  subjected to detention.

It is noted that the SCR employees were detained based on a signal  from the director of  an LLC, according to which Eloyan, Arakelyan  and the inspector Vaghik, demanded 1 million drams, so that during  the inspections they "close their eyes" to some aspects and not  obstruct the company's activities. Based on the fact, a criminal case  under paragraph 2 and 3 of part 3 of Article 311 of the Criminal Code  was initiated.  Relating to this Armenian Prime Minister Nikol  Pashinyan wrote on his Facebook page that only a scoundrel can demand  a bribe in the new Armenia, and these scoundrels should be  "eradicated."
