Criminal case and lawsuit for illegally acquired property were filed  against Vardan Ghukasyan even before his election as mayor of Gyumri  - Anna Vardapetyan.

ArmInfo. A lawsuit for the confiscation of illegal property was filed against Gyumri Mayor Vardan Ghukasyan back in August 2024. Prior to that, another case from 2019 was sent to court within the framework of criminal  proceedings.

This was stated by Prosecutor General of Armenia Anna Vardapetyan at a meeting of the Standing Committee of the National  Assembly of Armenia on State and Legal Affairs on April 25, while  answering to a question raised by  deputy Alkhas Ghazaryan from the  "Civil Contract" that many are  trying to link the legal processes  around Ghukasyan with  his recent election as mayor of Gyumri.

"There are two separate proceedings," Vardapetyan said. Thus,  the  case and lawsuit cannot be connected to Ghukasyan's recent political  activity, she added.
