ArmInfo. The Court of General Jurisdiction of Yerevan rejected the petition of lawyer Levon Barseghyan to change the preventive measure or release on bail of 10 million drams to the former MP, former chairman of the "Yerkrapah" voluntary union Manvel Grigoryan. Lawyer Levon Barseghian noted that Manvel Grigoryan has a number of diseases incompatible with detention, in particular - diabetes, chronic heart failure, arterial hypertension, chronic kidney disease, also Grigoryan has signs of incipient gangrene. According to Barseghian, all this was recorded by a medical consultation convened at the initiative of RA Minister of Healthcare Arsen Torosyan.
The lawyer said that the patient needs care and must be under constant supervision of a cardiologist, oncologist, and must be provided with oxygen around the clock. However, these arguments did not affect the judge, he left the measure of restraint in the form of arrest unchanged and stated that if the defendant was taken to the courtroom, therefore, he is able to participate in the process.
Meanwhile, we note that Grigoryan has been in a civilian hospital for many months, since he cannot be provided with the necessary medical care at the medical center of the penitentiary facility. It should be noted that Grigoryan is accused of embezzlement and assumption on a particularly large scale, illegal acquisition and storage of weapons and ammunition.
