ArmInfo.The Court of Appeal of Armenia, chaired by Judge Sergey Marabyan, overturned the decision of the court of general jurisdiction to arrest son-in-law of 3-rd President of Armenia, ex-Ambassador of Armenia to the Vatican, Mikael Minasyan.
Minasyan's lawyer Mihran Poghosyan on his Facebook page emphasized that the defense side has repeatedly noted the illegality of the decision of the court of general jurisdiction. "I am confident that the authorities will not accept this decision and will file new charges against my client in the coming days", the lawyer said.
He emphasized that it is likely that the new charge will also be "unfounded and illegal", and a new petition for the arrest of Minasyan will be submitted to the court.
To note, Minasyan is on the wanted list. He is accused of money laundering, illicit enrichment, abuse of power and the provision of false information in the income statement.
