ArmInfo. On charges of receiving a bribe in a particularly large amount of $ 2,500, a judge of the court of general jurisdiction of the Kotayk region of Armenia was  detained.According to the Prosecutor General's Office, as a result of  activities carried out by the National Security Service, data were  obtained on a judge's request for a bribe on a particularly large  scale for committing certain actions in favor of a person within  their authority.

As a result of the operational-search measures under the control of  the National Security Service officers, a bribe was handed over to  the judge through the complicit lawyer, after which the amount  received from the latter was discovered and taken away by the  National Security Service.In connection with the receipt of a bribe  by the judge in especially large amounts, complicity and bribery in  especially large amounts under paragraphs 2 and 3 of Part 4 of  Article 311, paragraphs 2 and 3 of Part 4 of Article 38-311 and  paragraph 1 of Part 3 of Article 312 of the RA Criminal Code A  criminal case was opened in the investigation department of the RA  National Security Service, which was sent to the Special  Investigation Service for a preliminary investigation.

Prosecutor General Artur Davtyan, on the basis of the facts gathered  in this criminal case, came to the conclusion that, while at large,  this judge may be hiding from the body conducting the criminal  proceedings. To avoid such a situation, Davtyan appealed to the  Supreme Judicial Council with a request to institute criminal  proceedings against the judge and agree to imprison the latter. The  Supreme Judicial Council on March 29 granted both petitions of the  Prosecutor General.It should be noted that, according to the media  version, the judge of the court of general jurisdiction of Kotayk  region Gagik Kheboyan is accused of large-scale bribery.
