ArmInfo. Former Minister of Defense of Armenia Seyran Ohanyan is charged under article 179 (Misappropriation or Embezzlement, Ed.) of the RA Criminal Code. Press secretary of the Special Investigation Service Marina Ohanjanyan stated this in an interview with ArmInfo correspondent. She noted that a written recognizance not to leave was chosen as a preventive measure against Ohanyan.
It should be noted that Ohanyan is suspected of embezzlement of property on an especially large scale - 1,046,400,000 drams. According to the investigation, in 2010, by decision of the government, the property of the hydroelectric power station, which was on the balance of the Ministry of Defense, was sold to Dzoraget Hydro. This document was discussed at a government meeting under a secret procedure, and on its basis the property of Dzora Hydroelectric Power Plant CJSC, whose market value was 4.6 billion drams, was sold to Dzoraget Hydro for 3.6 billion drams.
To recall, Ohanyan himself on March 3 denied his involvement in the criminal case on the alienation of the Dzora HPP.
