ArmInfo. Officers of the Special Investigation Service of Armenia searched the office of Judge David Grigoryan. Press secretary of the Special Investigation Service of Armenia, Marina Ohanjanyan, told ArmInfo correspondent.
"The search in Grigorian's office was carried out within the framework of the criminal case under investigation by the Special Investigation Service," said Ohanjanyan, adding that she cannot yet say what kind of case the question is.
To recall, it was Judge David Grigoryan who earlier made the decision to release former President Robert Kocharyan from custody, under the guarantee of the former and current Presidents of Artsakh. Later, Grigorian suspended the proceedings and referred him to the Constitutional Court. Then, the Court of Appeal noted this decision and re-arrested Kocharyan, sent the case for further investigation. In turn, Judge Grigoryan suspended the proceedings and referred him to the Constitutional Court. The Constitutional Court of Armenia will consider the appeal of Grigorian on August 20.
On July 26, 2018, a special investigative service charged Kocharyan with the charge of overthrowing the constitutional order in a criminal case on dispersing protest actions on March 1, 2008. The second president is also charged with accepting bribes on a large scale. Kocharyan considers the charges fabricated political persecution.
