ArmInfo. The court session on the consideration of the preventive measure against the head of the Prosperous Armenia party Gagik Tsarukyan did not take place. An ArmInfo correspondent reports.
The meeting was adjourned. The reason that the hearing was postponed was that the lawyers were not duly notified of the forthcoming hearing.
It should be noted that the Prosecutor General of Armenia Artur Davtyan made a motion in the parliament to deprive Tsarukyan of his parliamentary immunity. However, the court of first instance rejected the motion to arrest the head of the PAP. After which the prosecutor's office filed an appeal. The appellate court remanded the case to the general court.
In turn, the Court of Cassation did not consider the complaints of Tsarukyan's defense and the prosecutor's office, after which the decision of the Court of Appeal entered into force. Note that Tsarukyan was charged with tax evasion on an especially large scale, as well as with bribery of voters and the appropriation of large land plots. PAP representatives stated that this trial is a political persecution, as it became known only after three political forces - Prosperous Armenia, Motherland and ARF Dashnaktsutyun announced that they intend to hold a rally on October 8 ... In turn, Advisor to the Prosecutor General Gor Abrahamyan urged not to politicize this process.
