ArmInfo. The State Interests Protection Directorate of the General Prosecutor's Office of the Republic of Armenia made a subject of study information received from the Committee on State Property Management about the alienation of the medical center operating in Tavush region. During the inspections it became clear that in 2014 the RA government decided to alienate the medical center in Tavush in the form of direct sale, for which an agreement on alienation and pledge of state property was concluded between the State Property Management Committee under the RA Government and a private company.
According to the contract, the company had to pay $ 2 million for the purchase of the medical center for 4 years, and before that the building of the medical center had to remain under the pledge of the state. However, on October 11, 2017, the company sent a letter to the State Property Management Committee, asking to withdraw the property from bail under the pretext that its investment obligations taken under the contract were already fulfilled within the following terms: in 2015, AMD 208.351.000 was paid. in 2017 - 661.527.000 drams, in the same year another 342.628.000 drams. On this basis, the property was withdrawn from bail.However, during the investigation it became clear that the information on the fulfillment of investment commitments provided by the company is not true.
In addition, the company pledged to transfer the inventory, which is on the balance of the medical center in the amount of 74 million drams, to the Tavush regional administration, however, due to the negligence of the administration staff, this equipment was not transferred to it.Thus, according to the results of inspections, it turned out that in 2015-2017 Responsible officials of the State Property Management Committee of the Republic of Armenia, using their official position against the interests of the service, despite the fact that the company did not fulfill its investment obligations, removed the pledged property from bail, causing significant damage to the legitimate interests of the state. As a result of the checks, it turned out that the company did not fulfill investment commitments in the amount of about 1 billion 107 million drams by fraud.The results obtained, in fact, contain data on forgery and use of documents by prior agreement with the participants and responsible persons of the company.
Considering that the violations recorded in the course of the study contain signs of a crime, a criminal case was initiated in the Department for the Protection of State Interests of the Prosecutor General's Office on the grounds of paragraph 1 of Part 3 of Art. 178, Part 2 of Art. 308, Part 2 of Art. 315 and Part 2 of Art. 325 of the RA Criminal Code.
