ArmInfo.The preliminary investigation confirmed the fact of fraud on the part of the judge of the court of general jurisdiction of the city of Yerevan, David  Grigoryan. According to the Investigative Committee, these actions  were carried out with the assistance of the secretary of the court  hearings of the same court, Gor Vardanyan.

According to the source, on September 7, 2018, the court of general  jurisdiction of Yerevan received a citizen's complaint against the  decisions of the investigator and prosecutor, the consideration of  which was entrusted to judge David Grigoryan. Meanwhile, Grigoryan,  with the assistance of Vardanyan, drew up a false protocol on holding  a court hearing on September 14, 2018, including false information  that the plaintiff, as well as representatives of the IC and the  prosecutor's office, allegedly did not appear in court, on the basis  of which the hearing was adjourned .  After compiling the  aforementioned protocol, which contains deliberately false  information, and confirming it with his signatures, Grigoryan and  Vardanyan appended it to the materials of the court case. The false  protocol on the allegedly held court session was compiled by the  above-mentioned persons and regarding the application from the State  Probation Service received on September 11, 2018. Based on this  protocol, the court session was rescheduled, and the document with  false information was attached to the materials of the court case.

For these criminal acts, Grigoryan was charged under part 1 of  Article 314 (two episodes), and Vardanyan - against part 1 of Article  38-314 (two episodes) of the RA Criminal Code. Preliminary  investigation completed; the case with the indictment was transferred  to the supervising prosecutor with a request to send it to the court.

To recall, in May last year, David Grigoryan decided to release the  former President of Armenia Robert Kocharian from custody, under the  guarantee of the former and current Presidents of Artsakh. Grigoryan  later suspended the proceedings and sent him to the Constitutional  Court. Further, the Court of Appeal noted this decision and again  arrested Kocharyan, directing the case for further investigation.  However, Grigoryan suspended the proceedings and sent it to the  Constitutional Court to clarify the constitutionality of the article  charged with Kocharyan, as well as to determine the essence of the  institution of immunity. Last summer, the High Judicial Council  suspended his powers as a judge, and also agreed to institute  criminal proceedings against him.  To note, Robert Kocharyan is being  accused in the case of March 1, 2008
