Armenian president's brother, Sashik Sargsyan, which according to the rumors, owns the "business" on fining of drivers with a help of placement of the speed-meters in Yerevan, has decided to "enlarge" his business. As Chorrord Ishkhanutyun weekly says, Sashik Sargsyan has recently instructed the relevant centre to fine 10 thousand drivers every day.
The size of the minimal fine is 5 thsd drams (about $17), and if we multiply it by 10 thsd, we will get a solid sum - 50 mln drams for a day. Moreover, the weekly says that just a small part of this sum is paid to the state budget like a tax. As for the salary of employees of the computer centre which fix violations, it is small - 100-150 thsd drams (about $250-350).
