ArmInfo. The Chairman of the Constitutional Court of Armenia Hrayr Tovmasyan is charged with abuse of power, resulting in negligent grave consequences. This was reported by the Special Investigation Service.
The SIS explained that the matter concerns the same criminal case in which the godson of Tovmasyan Norair Panosyan was charged.
To recall, the godson of the head of the Constitutional Court Hrayr Tovmasyan - Norayr Panosyan has been pressed a new charge. This information is confirmed by the Special Investigation Service. In the framework of the criminal case under investigation, Panosyan was charged with a new charge under part 2 of Article 308 of the Criminal Code of Armenia (abuse of power, resulting in negligent grave consequences). The court submitted a motion for the election of an arrest in respect of him as a measure of restraint. Earlier, the investigation established that the former employee of the Ministry of Justice of Armenia Norayr Panosyan, holding the post of head of the Legislation Inspection Inspectorate in the Ministry of Justice in 2011-2014, together with a number of other officials, deprived two notaries of the opportunity to register their work premises for free use. Panosyan wanted to buy these premises himself. To do this, he agreed with the employees of the Ministry of Justice and the Municipality of Yerevan, who organized fictitious auctions for the sale of these premises, at prices significantly lower than market prices. In particular, the territory in the 1st dead end of Baghramyan Avenue, with a market value of 63.4 million drams (about 133 thousand dollars), was sold for 47.5 million, and on Bagratunyats Street, worth 33.5 million (70 thousand dollars) ), - for 3.8 million. These territories belonged to the Municipality of Yerevan, which as a result received less income, and notaries lost their free territory for work. Also detained was an employee of CJSC Land and Real Estate Operations Tigran Ter-Harutyunov, who gave an underestimated assessment of real estate. Norayr Panosyan was previously arrested, but subsequently, by decision of the Court of Appeal, he was released.
