Prosecutor General: The body conducting the proceedings is required  to publish certain investigative data

ArmInfo. The bodies carrying out investigative actions are not looking for documents regarding violations of a particular party or any specific elections.  Prosecutor General of Armenia Arthur Davtyan stated this from the  rostrum during the discussion of the petition for depriving head of  the Prosperous Armenia party, MP Gagik Tsarukyan, of parliamentary  immunity.

He emphasized that criminal cases are instituted in accordance with  specific criminal procedure standards.  "And when, as part of the  investigative actions, the facts are revealed that some political  force gave bribes during the election campaign, it does not matter we  which  specific party it is," the Prosecutor General emphasized.

To note, yesterday in social networks a screenshot of an unofficial  report appeared, which presumably testifies to the distribution of  election bribes by Gagik Tsarukyan in the Gegharkunik region of  Armenia.  Minister of Healthcare of Armenia Arsen Torosyan published  this screenshot.  

Davtyan informed that the materials in this case were discovered as  part of another case that was in no way connected with the Prosperous  Armenia Party and bribes. <If in another criminal case we find  violations committed by other parties, they will also receive a  corresponding response. We are not hunting for anyone,> he said.

As for the fact that the investigative documents were falling into  the hands of the MPs from the ruling faction, and then on the  Facebook social network, the Prosecutor General noted that the  investigating authority, which is involved in the production of the  case, has every right to decide how much details can be submitted for  one or another case. <Naturally, when publishing certain documents,  the possible risks for the investigation are also taken into account.  This is our authority, moreover, it is our responsibility. We are  obliged to inform the public about criminal cases pending. If there  were a leak of secret investigative data, then this would be  unacceptable, and this would be followed by appropriate punishment>,  Davtyan emphasized.

In turn, press secretary of head of the Prosperous Armenia Party  Gagik Tsarukyan, Iveta Tonoyan, stated that there is no evidence that  this screenshot is a document. According to her, everyone in social  networks can write anything, and not always such records correspond  to reality.
